DESENSITISATION and COUNTERCONDITIONING in Dog Training

Watch as I explain desensitisation and counterconditioning using a dog afraid of bicycles—apply it to any fear! 👉Check out my BRAND NEW Dog Training and Behaviour Modification Principles online course! https://www.udemy.com/course/dog-training-and-behaviour-modification-principles/?referralCode=08986FDD9828949ACBBC [SUPPORT MY WORK] here on YouTube by buying me a coffee. It is a simple and easy way to show your appreciation for the content that I create: https://www.buymeacoffee.com/trainmeplease In this video I go over what desensitisation and counterconditioning are. I also address why they are so powerful in changing dog behaviour. This is done mainly with an example of a dog that is afraid of bicycles, but this content can be totally applicable to any other type of fear inducing stimulus (other dogs, people, motorcycles, etc.). I also cover the topic of response substitution. Leave me any feedback or questions in the comment section below.
