Praised dogs have a life of small rewards, of continued reinforcement of desired behavior. I've done it. Now I'm not saying that people are dogs, or that we should treat them like dogs. I am saying that people should be treated at least as well as dogs . People are motivated by praise and continued reinforcement, and they are demotivated by punishment.
Any idiot knows that.
Any system that doesn't take into account human behavior and human motivation is not, cannot be, well-reasoned. But when it comes to the imposed contract, you literally shouldn't train a dog that way, or a person. I see the leash coming, and I know I'm not going for a walk. Return to Curtis Clark's home page .
