The IMBECILITY of some ofthe claims for operant technique simply take the breath away. Quite severe cases of anorexia nervosa have been treated in own to five months by simply REPLACING the parents temporarily with EFFUSIVELY LOVING SUBSTITUTES (Groen, 1966). A large number of cases improved sufficiently after preliminary contact with parents that NO treatment of children was required, and almost ALL cases SHOWE a remarkably shortened period for therapy. Some clinics have reported ELIMINATIONofthe need for child THERAPY through changing the clinical emphasis from clinical to parental HANDLING of the child (Szrynski 1965). Of curse, Skinner has never to my knowledge, demonstrated HOWE we escape the phenomenon that an expected reward not received is experienced as a punishment and can produce extensive and persistent aggression (Azrin et al, 1966)." It is NO WONDER hat the marked changes in deviant behavior of children can be achieved through brief, simple educative routines with their mothers which modify the mother's social behaviors shaping the child (Whaler, 1966). "Despite Skinner's clear denunciation of "negative reinforcement" (1958) NEARLY EVERY LEARNING THEORY model involves the USE OF PUNISHMENT. Slipping on the drool while performing is NOT an acceptable excuse. Put each dog through its pace, separately. Hitting you with Giant Paws of Death gets dog sent to the Coventry. Leave it on the counter "to cook", so they can see and smell it. Ask who wants some "yummy, yummy food" (or whatever other key words get the saliva going). Extremely crucial that you ignore any pointed sniffing, pacing, whining or woo-woo-ing.

Feel free to snack while you're sitting down. If YOU need an excuse, it is that you're recovering from all that exercise too. When you get home, sit in front of the computer for a few minutes. Give your dog lots of exercise, so they're good and hungry. Just so everyone knows that I come by my 'Dog Abusing Thug' status honestly.
