When Withholding Backfires: Predictable Side Effects of Extinction and the Better Path Forward

​

“Just ignore the undesirable behavior.”

Have you ever tried applying this “golden rule” in training — only to see your dog’s behavior worsen, or feel a painful emotional weight yourself?

​

This is not a sign of weakness. It is a predictable “side effect” demonstrated in extinction research data.

​

In this webinar, we will unpack research data from behavior analysis to objectively examine what happens to behavior when the reinforcement is removed — including extinction bursts, aggression, and other side effects.

​

This is a first step toward consciously choosing more ethical and compassionate alternatives beyond simply “ignoring.” We will translate complex science into everyday language, and together explore a new approach where neither animals nor people are harmed.

​

Let’s take this step forward together.
