AbbiDot T50 - Dog Training Terms and What They Mean

A ‘marker’ is something we use to mark good behavior. A dog clicker is
used as a marker to mark good behavior before that treat comes! You can
also use the sound seng on your electric collar to mark good behavior!
DOG TRAINING TERMS AND WHAT THEY MEAN
Training Marker
Reinforcement is exactly what the word implies. You are reinforcing a dog
behavior you like or increasing the likelihood it will happen again.
The ‘posive’ precursor indicates addion, or something is being added
to reinforce the behavior. Offering a tasty treat for a job well done is
posive reinforcement.
Dog Training Reinforcement
Conditioning
Positive Reinforcement
Stopping the buzz vibraon from that electric collar once your dog
complies with your command (if being used in this way). increasing the
likelihood the dog will follow through faster next me.
Through repeated acts or behaviors, your dog is condioned to repeat
that behavior again and more frequently.
Negative Reinforcement
In classical condioning, the dog forms involuntary responses to things
happening. It is ‘associave learning’.
Classical Conditioning
Operant condioning is learning through rewards/ outcomes or
consequences. Your dog does something good and receives a treat.
Operant condioning is voluntary, whereas classical condioning involves
involuntary responses.
