The Russian psychologist, Ivan Pavlov, paved the way for what is classified as classical conditioning. He brought it into existence through the extensive work, experimentation, and studies that he bore throughout his career. One aspect of the life of Pavlov that most individuals do not know is that as most boy's do they try to pursue in their father's career choose by and Pavlov's father was a priest. As we all know he altered his verdict and embarked into the study physiology which he obviously excelled in. This was an intelligent choice by the facts that his work within the physiology of digestion produced a noble Prize for him. At this time Pavlov was carrying out inquiries on the workings of the canine digestive arrangement by means of the data received from dog's salivation. Accidentally, as these experiments were performed he unintentionally exposed that certain behaviors can be conditioned (Riskind, & Manos)
Formerly the assumption that an individual's response was due to complex biased progression. The key discovery that Pavlov concluded was that numerous reactions by individuals were the occurrence of former learning within that individual's life. Acquiring this was imperative to understanding was completed completely by accident. Offering food specifically meat, to the subject K-9's created them to salivate even before they received it.
[...] This alters the formerly neutral stimuli of verbally or using the hand signal into conditioned stimuli. Also because the K-9's reaction is to sit when there is use of these conditioned stimuli, the response the K-9 has is also considered conditioned. The K-9 showing that it complies with the use of this technique shows that I would be able to use it in various other commands. References Alloy, L., B., Riskind, J., H. & Manos, M., J.

[...] This immediately made the K-9's commence salivating. Pavlov continually repeated this course of action numerous times and with no surprise the K-9's had the same result. To continue the hypothesis he removed the food and simply made the only the loud noise. The K-9's salivated in view of the fact, that it was implicated that the food was imminent. In all probability this could be earliest research within the study of classical conditioning (Martinez, 2010). It can be engrossed with first having a neutral stimulus to be on hand giving foundation for a subject to respond. [...]
[...] My major distress that comes with a dog is potty training. For that reason, it would be wise to educate myself about ways that one can condition a dog's behavior before one is brought home. There are many vital commands that I believe a dog needs to know such as stay, sit, come, and many others. At what time the puppy comes into the house, the first command that I will began to teach it will be to sit. I chose to make a downward hand signal to indicate this command to the K-9. [...]
