So Ihave to condidtion the response? Or condition the postman?!!

[deebee]

no.no.no,  dont read anything i say as to what to do!! im learning too. this is an attempt at explaining in a foreign language, that once you understand it make alot of sense.

unconditioned is a dogs gut reaction to a stimulus, ie postie
conditioned is dogs chosen reaction. it has learnt that it works.

oh man, if im wrong!

So I gotta break the cycle-mabe make the “postman” stand there until she is quiet-then go away? Get a cardboard cut out to stick on the door? Ask a friend? Not sure the real postie would oblige!

[deebee]

break the cycle yes, but slow down!!!

understand the behaviour, think about it (she says)
