About twice a week, one of my dogs will wake up in the middle of the night and make a high pitched bark (I swear, he is manding! Haha). Anyhow, without fail, I jump up out of bed and let him outside to go to the bathroom. I never sleep with my eye contacts in, and he is a dark (nearly black) dog. I watch him the entire time that he is outside. He will often go to the back of the yard, and is completely out of focus for me. So I always "experiment" a bit with squinting my eyes and tilting my head, and when I find a perfect position, I keep it there until he comes running back. It is so funny to think about these everyday occurrences in terms of consequences! I am sure, over time, some angles or squints will be selected, and others will or have fallen by the wayside due to not contacting reinforcing consequences. <br /><br />Anyhow, thought I would share! It really is a pleasure to take a minute out of the day and examine the lawfulness of our own behavior!Valeriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02212813452445759136noreply@blogger.com
