The mistake I see most people (and beginning trainers) make is that they fail to understand the difference between the positive and negative aspects of training. Unfortunately, people tend to think that positive training does not include and negatives. Everything is reinforcing or extinguishing when it comes to behavior. I included the link to a former column I wrote for the zoo industry related to the positive and negatives--you did a great job on this topic by including examples which helps to clear up any of the confusion and misunderstandings that can occur.

I especially like the examples you use. I was especially interested in the part about escape and avoidance and the differences between them. I had never given it much thought before and your descriptions made so much sense. This is a fantastic article on reinforcement. I especially like the examples you use.
