To piggy back off of this, unpredictable punishment (where the dog does not understand how to/or is unable to control the outcome of their behavior) or compulsion based training (where the dog receives stim or leash correction with the initial command) can cause fixating behaviors and other negative side effects. There is always alot to unpack. Doing an inventory on communication while doing the habitation chart and incorporating drive balance is so amazing.
