Question

PLEASE HELP ASAP!

Read the blog post from Ben’s Doggone Dog Blog.

What’s the best way to get a pooch to behave? Reward him (or her)! Rewarding good behavior works better than punishing bad behavior (at least with dogs). Think about it. No one likes to be yelled at, and that includes canines! Dogs are a lot happier if their owner isn’t yelling, “STOP BARKING!” My dog Corky barks a lot. So what I do is this: If he stops barking when I ask him to, I make a little tiny clicking sound with a clicker (like a castanet) and give him a treat and say, “Good doggie.” This encourages him to behave.

Which best describes the purpose of this blog post?

to persuade people to reward their dog’s good behavior
to entertain people with a story about a dog that misbehaves
to entertain people with a story about the writer’s own dog
to persuade people to give treats to their dogs no matter what
