Well, I don't have a lot of time to write right now, but will give you a simplified version of what Kathy teaches in her dvd, Cujo Meets Pavlov. She goes over that there are 2 stimuluses that dogs work off of, one is conditional and the other is unconditional. And it basically states that the behavior you want is the sum of the 2, then it works it's way backwards. This is the dogs thought process, it always goes backwards. To give an example, lets say your dog is dog aggressive. So, to correct the behavior, you begin with the Conditional, which is your dog just sitting there with no dogs present. Then you add in the Unconditional, you bring another dog into view for only a short period. Here's the trick, as soon as your dog sees the other dog, you open up the buffet and feed the dog something he really likes. And you feed until the other dog disappears. Make sure it's safe for you and the other dog and that your dog won't lunge at the other dog. If it's 50 yards, then you start at 50 yard plus 1 step. Then you slowly work your way closer. This will in turn work it's way backwards where your dog begins to understand, when another dog appears, the buffet will open or I will win the lottery.

Once you've worked this into the dog, then you can begin for reform the dogs behavior and linking the food to something that's good.

It's an awsome DVD set. It's 6 hours long.

Well, I'm out of time, need to get to work before I'm late, lol. I might talk a little more about it later.
