It's rather worrying that a professional trainer and member of the APDT seems to be confused about the definitions of operant conditioning in basic learning theory in the intro to this series. Negative reinforcement means the removal of something ("negative&quot ;) to increase the ocurrence of a behaviour ("reinforcement ")...therefore trainers do not use negative reinforcement to reduce bad behaviour. I might expect the public to be confused about operant conditioning definitions, but not a professional trainer!
