Dogs are always learning! They go thru life experimenting with behaviors and discovering what is fun and rewarding. Simple stated: in a dog’s world, behaviors that are reinforced will continue and behaviors that are not reinforced (or prove to be fruitless) will be abandoned. So, our job is to simply pay attention and make the behaviors we prefer the fun and rewarding ones for the dog. If the behavior is fun and rewarding to the dog, it will be repeated. If it provides nothing good for the dog, the dog will abandon the behavior.
