Conditioned Punisher Command Structure
It is easiest to start when the dog is already within the command (during a stay/duration).
Then, work on the dog "correcting" their mistakes during initial command requests.
We want to see the dog reliably "correct" themselves during the conditioned punisher ("no") for each specific command.
This allows us to be prepared for avoidance conditioning, where we can teach the dog to avoid all forms of punishment, but when we do punish we can use the least aversive punishment possible which is often just a 'conditioned' punisher.
