Kenyon wants his new puppy to stop chewing on the furniture. Which of the following techniques, when applied correctly, can decrease the puppy's misbehavior?

punishment

negative reinforcement

latent learning

insight conditioning

Punishment

Explanation:

Applying positive punishment will be punishing the puppy by physical application when it chews the furniture. The possibility is high that the puppy will reduce this behavior immediately the punishment is applied when it chews the furniture. The owner can apply this method consistently whenever the puppy chews the furniture to achieve greater results. Negative reinforcement will involve removing the furniture to make it impossible for the puppy to find it and chew, however it can be a challenge to Kenyon.
