Lack of Reactivity doesn't Mean Comfort

In this episode, Nikki and Britteny discuss the emotions of dogs and how the lack of behavior doesn't mean the dog is feeling comfortable in the situation. They discuss how Learned Helplessness is a common issue among dogs that are trained using positive punishment or a balanced method of positive punishment and positive reinforcement. www.dogspeak101.com www.patreon.com/dogspeakwww.instagram.com/dogspeak101 Click Here for Research Paper on Learned HelplessnessSupport the show
