To all my Readers and Friends,

I am mortified to realize there are several errors in the Operant Conditioning chart on Page 32 of my "Discover the World of Canine Cognition" book. I have no clue how this happened!!!

The four boxes should read:

1. Upper Left - Positive Reinforcement - correct as written

2. Upper Right - Positive Punishment - correct as written

3. Lower Left - Negative Reinforcement - Should be "Removing an aversive stimulus to increase the likelihood that the behavior will occur in the future.

4. Lower Right - Should be "Negative Punishment - Removing an appetitive stimulus to decrease the likelihood that the behavior will occur in the future.

Dogwise will be making the corrections in the next printing.

Again - I have no idea how this happened - my abject apologies!!!!

Please share this with anyone you may know who purchased the book.

Regulation anyone?

An Oklahoma man said he is out thousands of dollars and still without the service dog he paid for after he alleged a local trainer neglected and injured his pet.
