INTRODUCTION

This report is about how to train dogs They can do things that you tell them to do and they do it so then you give them a treat when you train them you can show them other stuff so they learn it.

INTELLIGENCE

A dog can show his cleverness and that he can do lots of things. Dogs have learned to do many jobs with their owners. They can bring you water bottles in their mouth when you are running with them. Some dogs are specially trained to recognize and avoid dangerous situations. Some dogs that do not learn quickly may have other talents. Dogs do not have the ability to premeditate an action or to solve a problem. Huskies can often figure out on their own lots of things.

RELATIONSHIPS WITH HUMANS

Dogs can cooperate together with humans. They can cooperate with hunting and sports. Dogs seem to view their human companions as members of the pack. They can also go fishing together.

COMMUNICATON

Dogs and animals do not laugh the same way as humans. When they are actually laughing, you cannot tell or hear it. However, when they are hungry, they bark and look at you.

TRAINING A DOG

There are many types of training -like you can make them sit jump high or also you can make him play football with you when you are bored. Its better to train your dogs when they are small so it won’t be so hard for them to learn. When you tell them to sit and he sits you can give him a small reward.

CLASSICAL CONDICTING

Classical condition is when you first do something and then the dog does something. Example: You put on a song and the dog comes and then you take him for a walk. If you do it again (play music) the dog comes quickly because he is ready to go for a walk. The dog doesn’t like the song he just likes to go for a walk.

This is another example of classical conditioning. First you play the flute for one minute so the dog can hear you. Then you take the ball and start to play and when the dog sees you play he comes running to play with you. If you do this a few times, then play the flute again he is going to come fast because he knows that you are going to play with him not because he likes to hear you play the flute because he like to play ball with you.

OPERANT CONDITIONING

Operant Conditioning is when the dog does it first and you like what he is doing so you give him a reward. For example: the dog sits and you like what he is doing so you give him a treat so the dog thinks that if he will do it again you will give him another reward .So in the future if you tell him to sit he will sit and then you give him a reward. If he does not learn the trick you could also consider punishing him to help him learn it.

MY EXPERIMENT

For my experiment, I am going to see if I can train my dog to come when I ring a bell using the theory of classic conditioning.
