This is generally a good channel however, in this one, they have confused punishment with negative reinforcement. A correction for not complying with a command is not punishment because we are not trying to weaken our behaviour, in fact, the opposite we are trying to strengthen it. Therefore, it is negative reinforcement. We use punishment and we have a behaviour already and we want to stop it like digging holes for example. Should point out. This is a common mistake made by those that really don’t understand the science.
It would be negative reinforcement if we were removing something aversive, here we are adding something aversive (Positive Punishment). "Corrections" like Yanking/Swatting/Yelling are likely unconditioned punishers for the dog, and might in turn decrease whatever behaviour the dog thinks it was doing to receive these. Since we cannot reason with a dog like we could a human, it might be preferred to use forms of positive reinforcement as a main way of changing dog behaviour :)
punishment is a 1.positive reinforcer 2.nagative reinforcer 3. not a reinforcer 4. Not anyone. Sir please send me answer with proof book name & page number. My result depends on this question. Please sir
Well explained! I can't believe there are no comments. You deserve more!
LOL. Thanks! Glad it helped you!

Punishment is not a reinforcer because it weakens behavior.
