[QUOTE="InsaneCdn, post: 488862, member: 11791"] Behavior modification... Hmmm... seems to me there's another dog training session coming up this week. What was that "line" from the trainer? Something like: you choose the behavior you want to reinforce... but the DOG chooses the reinforcer. Which means, you have to use something that the DOG thinks is a good reward for the behavior you seek... and the tougher the challenge, the better the reward needs to be. But dogs, of course, don't think in terms of $$. Chopped cooked chicken livers are WAY higher in value to my dogs, than store-bought "doggie cookies"... and the liver costs way less. Which supports your theory, Janet - that you have to choose the right rewards, based on the kid (or anybody, for that matter). My daughter wouldn't do squat for you if you offered her a chance to drive a go-cart. DS, on the other hand... would see that as a very nice little "carrot". [/QUOTE]
