Abstract

Objective: To apply classical conditioning in a canine by using conditioned and unconditioned stimuli. Method: Experimental study, a puppy was used. Conclusion: Stimulation of a canine through the application of classical conditioning is a proven and effective method that can be used for a wide range of training objectives. The evidence suggests that, when properly employed, classical conditioning is a powerful tool that can significantly improve both the dog's behavior and the quality of its interaction with humans.
