Scoobie, learning to Woof



Scoobie is 4 months old, vaccinized, and a lovable pet. 2 months back, he was the laziest puppy on earth, we were worried if he needs any help, or has some condition. People gave lots of advice, tried one of those "Feed him less", It worked. 
Been a week since he is practicing the "Woof " language. Other dogs dont seem to get what he speaks, just like the one in this video.

Scoobie's Rage

A dog has only one master. And he gets to choose his master. And what happens when someone forces him to obey their orders??? A PUPPY's RAGE..
Scoobie doesnt like taking orders unless he gets something in reward. He was trained in a similar fashion. But Classic Conditioning doesnt seem to be working on him. According Pavlov experiment

  1. food is unconditioned stimulus
  2. salivation is unconditioned reflex
  3. Bell is conditioned stimulus
Before Conditioning, Food naturally produces salivation.
Conditioning this reflex with a BELL, the reflex at first becomes Bell--Food--Salivation, which transists to Bell-Salivation. This however doesnt work on Scoobie. Everytime he is ordered to follow instructions he looks at our hands, and if its empty, he makes expressions and i can read it clearly on his face saying 2You think Im so dumb not to understand that stupid experiment of yours? Give me my food".
And once when I compeled him to follow instructions without rewarding him, this is what happened that evening. He took all his anger on my newly purchased shoes. I wonder, that even the person who shot this video is also PROJECTING at PROXY his anger on my shoe.
