A dog can develop unwanted behaviors after reaching adulthood, as exemplified by sudden digging habits. While positive reinforcement for good behavior like peeing outside is straightforward, discouraging bad habits such as digging holes proves challenging. The inability to link negative reinforcement effectively to the behavior complicates training efforts. Despite attempts to manage the dog’s new hobby, including filling holes and using espresso grounds, nothing appears effective. The garden faces additional troubles, such as failing crops, signaling a broader struggle in maintaining the outdoor space while managing the dog's antics.
Encouragement in canine training is easy, but discouragement is hard. It’s simple to teach a dog that peeing outside is good; it takes much longer to unlearn bad behavior like peeing inside.
Connecting negative reinforcement to a bad behavior can be impossible, especially when coming across a new hole dug by the dog. The anticipation of a fun experience thwarts the discouragement process.
