How do we shape what our dogs learn and what associations they make, so they can be good family dogs and companions? This episode is entirely dedicated to that question through the lens of Classical Conditioning. You'll learn how to help your dog create positive associations through the "Stuff-A-Dog Method" and the Jean Donaldson's "Open Bar, Closed Bar" method; and the science behind it. Think of this as a learning tool instead of a training tool!
