Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Soiling, which refers to inappropriate elimination by pets, can be best addressed through principles of operant conditioning. This involves reinforcing desirable behaviors (such as using a designated location for elimination) and punishing undesirable behaviors (such as eliminating in inappropriate places). Through consistent application of operant conditioning principles, pets can learn to eliminate in appropriate locations and avoid soiling in unwanted areas. Other conditioning techniques, such as classical conditioning and aversive conditioning, may not be as effective in addressing soiling behaviors. Gestalt principles are unrelated to behavioral conditioning techniques.
