When working with dogs and children it is very easy to make this simply mistake and actually reward them for stopping bad behavior. Both dogs and children will very quickly realise that in order to get the reward they first have to misbehave. This important point is from the chapter called “Humans are not logical” from my book “What the dogs taught me about being a parent”. Understanding how logical our children and dogs are is a real eye opener for many people and explains why so many of them behave like they do.
