I recently saw a blog post on FB refuting the claim that comforting a fearful dog (ie, during a thunderstorm) reinforces the fearful behaviour. It said something along the lines of fear being an emotion & therefore not reinforceable - or something like that. Ive been searching everywhere for it again but cant find it. Does anyone here know the article Im talking about? Im looking for it to post to someone who is dealing with a dog stressed out by recent storms. TIA.
