Bought some new dog treats last week, and I swear she is addicted to them LOL. Literally every 30 mins - an hour she begs for more and won't stop crying unless I give her one and if she doesn't get one for a while, she acts depressed . Learned my lesson from these, throwing them out . Any dog rehab centers out there?
Basic psychology; operant conditioning at its finest.
The question is, who's training who?
-Is your dog increasing frequency of crying to get more dog treats; positive reinforcement?
-Or are you increasing frequency of giving dog treats to avoid making your dog cry; negative reinforcement?
...maybe your dog is smarter than you, bro.
