Ep112 - Extinction Burst & Opposition Reflex

This week's episode is a focus on 2 terms that affect many dog owners on a daily basis without properly being aware of it.

People reinforce by accident which makes behaviour stronger and usually more undesirable

Opposition reflex: Moving against pressure.

The more you resist the more it will persist.

A big part of leash handling

Increases reactive behaviour
