Question

A horse was mistreated and trained with a whip. When the horse did not respond to the trainer, the trainer raised her hand with the whip and hit the horse. The horse then moved to a new owner who did not use a whip or pain to train her horses. The first time she raised her hand up toward the horse, the horse backed up and bucked. Place in order the steps of counterconditioning that the new owner would use to retrain the horse not to buck with fear to a raised hand.

Answer 1

Answer:

In order to retrain the horse not to buck with fear to a raised hand, the new owner shall counter condition the horse. Every time he has to pat the horse, he shall raise his hand so that the horse realizes the new condition that every time a hand will be raised, it will mean that his owner is patting him. Even when the new owner provides the horse with food, he shall raise his hand first while providing food so that the horse does not back off.

Answer 2

The counterconditioning steps that the new owner would use to retrain the horse not to buck with fear to a raised hand is:

• Pet the horse more frequently
• Show the horse that a raised hand can do good things too
• Reward him with treats for good behavior.
• Talk to the horse in a calm manner

Counter conditioning has to do with the retraining or the unlearning of some behavior or emotional response that is deemed to be unwanted or negative.

Some examples of counterconditioning is:

• A dog that is scared of gunshots always runs and hides when he hears the sound of bangers.
• A horse that is whipped when he does not respond to command is scared anytime someone raises his hand on him.
