Abstract

Animal behavior and dog training utilize all quadrants of learning theory, including classical and operant conditioning. Our relationship with dogs has changed over time, as has our understanding of their behavior and our methods of training, which vary from humane and dog-friendly to coercive and based in punishment. This article will address the background of dog training, as well as the aspects related to animal welfare.
