"Punishment" in the Operant sense, is anything that reduces the likelihood of the behaviour being repeated. It is the opposite of "Reinforcement", which means anything that increases the likelihood of the behaviour being repeated. While we are at it, "positive" means something is added, "negative" means something is taken away. I know I am belabouring the point, but the terms are quite specific and incorrectly used more often than not by both trainers and lay people. Which wouldn't matter except it causes confusion when people use the term incorrectly and so are misinterpreted by others who do understand the definitions....
Duna…my little Princess

Isn't She an italian Cutie?????

Lovely pup - and welcome from the States

She is a beautiful pup! What great pictures - welcome and here's envy for you being able to have your dog off-leash on the beach! Mine would be GONE if I tried that.

She looks beautiful on the beach, and seems to be having a ball with her doggie friend!!!:D
-
Cute little lady!!!
-
She's beautiful! How old is she? We are lucky as there is Ocean Beach in San Francisco that allows off leash.

Thanks all, she's 5 months old.:)
I've read on the internet, that if you get your Basenji pup from the very first day, to walk with you off leash ( of course where there are no dangers), she will never run off . I try and do it on a daily basis. Lots of treats in my pocket!!!:p
These are this mornings pics in an olive grove.
she didn't manage that herself, hubby was teasing her!!!!
this next one is just an extra, but i wanted to share it with you all!!!;)

Gorgeous dog, weather, country and people…I truly love Italy. If I didn't end up in Texas I would've moved to Italy...from Sweden, but the States won..
-
Those are wonderful shots! Everything about them is beautiful!

sigh Mine too, I think. I'm too scared to even ponder the idea. That's the only thing I completely dislike about my Bs - or the breed in general - I get so jealous when I watch my sister's lab galumph obediently around her yard off leash.

Your pictures just keep getting better and better, and Duna is just beautiful as always!!!:D
-
Mmmmm. I just looove the taste of fresh cactus figs …
