Dogs are always learning, and highly intelligent dogs can quickly learn behaviors that we might not have intended.<\/p>\n<p>Let\u2019s begin with a story of a scared little puppy. One day you notice that every time you turn on a water faucet your 12-week-old puppy is running, shaking and hiding under the bed. What happened? This behavior seems to have come out of nowhere. Why is my puppy so scared? What you didn\u2019t see is that one night while doing dishes you dropped a pan making a very loud bang. Your puppy was close to you and made the association that running water makes scary loud noises happen.<\/p>\n<p>Why did this association happen? Understanding what occurred involves some understanding of Classical Conditioning. Classical conditioning involves creating a conditioned response to a conditioned stimulus. This is done in a few steps:<\/p>\n<p><strong>Step 1:<\/strong> An Unconditioned Stimulus (UCS) results in an Unconditioned Response (UCR).<\/p>\n<p><strong>Step 2:<\/strong> Conditioned Stimulus (CS) is paired with the Unconditioned Stimulus (UCS) resulting in an Unconditioned Response (UCR).<\/p>\n<p><strong>Step 3:<\/strong> Conditioned Stimulus (CS) results in Unconditioned Response (UR) which is now considered a Conditioned Response (CR).<\/p>\n<p>The father of Classical Conditioning is Ivan Pavlov. Many people are familiar with <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.simplypsychology.org\/pavlov.html\">Pavlov\u2019s dogs<\/a><\/span>. Pavlov conditioned dogs to salivate on cue. The stimulus of the ringing bell (CS) was paired with food (UCS) which resulted in the dogs salivating (UCR). After many repetitions the dogs are conditioned to salivate at the sound of the bell. The higher a dog\u2019s intelligence, the fewer repetitions are needed to form this conditioned response.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Step 1:<\/strong> UCS Food = UCR Salivation<br \/>\n<strong>Step 2:<\/strong> UCS Food + CS Bell = UCR Salivation<br \/>\n<strong>Step 3:<\/strong> CS Bell = CR Salivation<\/p>\n<p>Let\u2019s take a look at the story above and how we can apply classical conditioning. The water is initially a neutral stimulus and the bang from the pan is an unconditioned stimulus that results in fear, an unconditioned response. Your 12-week-old puppy is very smart because it only took one repetition for him to learn that running water is scary. A less intelligent dog would take many, many repetitions to make this unfortunate conditioned response. Dumb dog\u2019s don\u2019t have problems because they take more repetitions to make these associations.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Step 1:<\/strong> UCS Loud Noise = UCR Shaking and Fear<br \/>\n<strong>Step 2:<\/strong> UCS Loud Noise + CS Running Water = UCR Shaking and Fear<br \/>\n<strong>Step 3:<\/strong> CS Running Water = CR Fear<\/p>\n<p>The puppy in our story is very smart because he learned that water running is scary after only one exposure. If the story of this puppy sounds familiar to you, take comfort in knowing that you have a very smart pup on your hands. The bad news is, you have a very smart pup who makes very quick associations. Now what? Rest assured that if caught early, you can \u201cre-train\u201d your pup to no longer be scared of the running water, or any other surprise behaviors that might creep up that are undesired.<\/p>\n<p>When you live with an animal you are always teaching something on purpose or by accident. Your dog will repeat behaviors that are reinforced. Make sure, especially with young pups, that they are learning the behaviors you desire. If a problem behavior comes up, think about what has happened recently and if your dog might have made an unintended association. <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.petworks.com\/hire\/dog-trainer\">Hiring a professional dog trainer<\/a><\/span> or behaviorist can help you find those associations and work on training new associations that result in more desired behaviors.<\/p>\n<p>At the end of the day, take comfort in knowing dumb dogs don\u2019t have problems. Those problem behaviors you are seeing are because you have a highly intelligent pup and with some work and awareness your pup can learn all the best behaviors too!<\/p>\n<h5>About the Author<\/h5>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-thumbnail wp-image-2541\" src=\"https:\/\/www.petworks.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/molly-150x150.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.petworks.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/molly-150x150.png 150w, https:\/\/www.petworks.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/molly-300x300.png 300w, https:\/\/www.petworks.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/molly-100x100.png 100w, https:\/\/www.petworks.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/molly.png 423w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><em>Molly Krutkramelis is the owner of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.optimaldogtraining.com\/\">Optimal Training<\/a>.
