Yes...but isn't learning a conditioned responce?? you do or say something and the dog reponds to his conditioning.....sitz, platz etc....in the situation with the trash...you arrive home, trash is on the floor, you pick it up and give your dog a look...he is conditioned to act guilty from past experiences with the trash.....If your dog had never been in the trash before or any other kind of trouble....my guess is that he would greet you happily at the door....I guess in my bumbling way
I am trying to say that you have conditioned your dog to react in the manner of a guilty dog. He feels no remorse or guilt...Its a conditioned responce to your actions rather than a memory of guilt.....does any of this make sense????
sigh...it would be so much easier to just talke rather than write
