Simon's dog urinates in the house while he is at work. When he gets home and sees the mess, he rubs his dog's nose in it and yells, "Bad dog!" Which of the following is one reason why this attempt at positive punishment might not work to correct the dog's behavior? Partially reinforced behaviors are harder to correct. It was not applied immediately after the dog's mistake. Punishment does not correct bad behavior. Dogs cannot understand a token economy.
