Ring a bell, get a treat: an experiment with a baby and a Shiba Inu

Reward isn’t just inconsistent for the dog- for the baby also. You need to stick a piece of cheese in the baby’s mouth _every time_it rings the bell. That would stop the over ringing by the baby, and if you combine that with being rigorous about making the dog ring the bell for cheese, you’d see they both get it and the experiment would work perfectly.

Much social pragmatics. Incipient dairy. Wow.

If this thread counts a peer review, then whatever they did in the video counts as an experiment…

Anyway: nice kid, good dog, everybody had fun, so no complaints from me.

Cute baby + shiba inu = watchable video.

They could have been sleeping, reading a book, painting a fence, doesn’t matter. Video is a win.
