Premack Principle

David Premack was a scientist who mainly worked with rats and monkeys. His theories have often been discussed in teacher parent training workshops. The Premack Principle can be applied to to dog training to modify unwanted behaviors such as barking, chasing, or dog-aggression. Pre The Premack Principle is sometimes referred to as Grandma's Rule, i.e., "if you eat your vegetables, you can have dessert", "if you clean your room, you can go out and play".

This example shows if the dog comes away from the window she is allowed to go back to look again. The window (initial trigger for barking) becomes the reinforcement.
