Animals (including humans) respond better to positive reinforcement from "summary" of Don't Shoot the Dog! by Karen Pryor
Positive reinforcement is like a magic wand that can transform behavior in animals, including humans. It is a powerful tool that can be used to shape behavior in a way that is gentle, effective, and long-lasting. This concept is based on the simple premise that when a behavior is followed by a pleasant consequence, it is more likely to be repeated in the future. Positive reinforcement works because it taps into the natural learning process of animals. When a behavior is reinforced, the brain releases chemicals that make the individual feel good. This creates a positive association with the behavior, making it more likely to occur again. In contrast, punishment or negative reinforcement can create fear, anxiety, or resentment, which can have long-lasting negative effects on behavior.
