Coerce or punish an animal and you can become a conditioned aversive stimuli that the animal behaves in order to avoid. Positively reinforce an animal with food and you yourself can become reinforcing to that animal, too, giving your presence and praise effectivness. Formally educated and credentialed animal behavior professionals know this, and now you do too. In this video Olive is eating a meal, yet it’s my voice that makes her wag her tail. This speaks for itself by demonstrating the power behind becoming associated with food. ~Cory Cordes animallearningsolutions/food-key-animals-heart/
