Danny, the dog, chewed his owner's bedroom slippers to pieces. The owner read a behavioral training manual and implemented this program. Each evening the owner left his slippers in their usual place and provided soft dog toys for Danny beside the slippers. If Danny played with these toys for 60 sec, the owner gave him a doggie treat and patted his tummy and scratched behind his ears. If the dog touched any part of a slipper during the 60-sec interval, the owner removed all items and walked away. He repeated this procedure for the time he and Danny spent together each evening. Eventually, Danny played only with his soft dog toys.
