What is Reinforcement? Simply increasing the rate of that behavior occurring.

What is Punishment? Simply decreasing the rate of that behavior occurring.

What is Positive? When we say positive, we mean that we are adding something into our dog's environment

What is Negative? When we say negative, we mean that we are taking something away from our dog's environment.

The Four Quadrants of Dog Training

Positive Reinforcement (R+): Adding something (desirable) to increase the likelihood of that behavior occurring.

Negative Reinforcement (R-): Taking away something (undesirable) to increase the likelihood of that behavior occurring.

Positive Punishment (P+): Adding something (undesirable) to decrease the likelihood of that behavior occurring.

Negative Punishment (P-): You take away something (desirable) to decrease the likelihood of that behavior occurring.
