Conditioning, Counter Conditioning & Desensitization
Conditioning is the way our brains learn about, and perceive our environment.
Conditioning begins at birth, and in dogs, it can be influenced by various factors, including breed, brain chemistry, cognitive ability, genetic predispositions, individual sensitivities, developmental stages, and environment.
We may try to examine classical and operant conditioning individually; however, in reality, they occur simultaneously and are rarely independent of each other.
