This dog's training method is based on the technique used by Great Russian Scientist Ivan Pavlov (1849-1936) while introducing the concept of 'conditioned reflexes'.
So around eighty years ago, Pavlov showed what happens when the right and wrong response begin to merge and become too similar.
He trained dogs to discriminate between a circle and an oval shape whereby one shape was punished, the other rewarded.
He then gradually merged the two shapes until the dogs could no longer discriminate between the two.
These events induced aggression and tension in some of the dogs; others responded randomly to all stimuli regardless of shape, and others just fell asleep. Most were unable to participate in the experiment any further.
When tou train your dog, you have to be clear. Constant confusion has that effect – it lowers the animal’s tendency to offer responses in the future.
As trainers, you have to be clear to reward the same response each time. Furthermore you need to ensure that the goals of each response are sufficiently different from each other.
