Question

harrison was bathing his dog but she is scared (and mad) during her bath. he brought some of her favorite treats to give to her when she seems fearful and/or mad during her bath. hopefully she will start to view the bath as a positive....just like she views her favorite treats. (she did by the way and i dont have to use treats anymore)
what am i describing?
flooding
counterconditioning
learned helplessness
negative reinforcement
aversive conditioning

Explanation:

Counterconditioning is a behavior - modification technique where a new response is conditioned to replace an unwanted response. In this case, the dog's negative response (fear and anger) to bathing is being replaced with a positive response (associated with treats). Flooding involves exposing an individual to the feared stimulus without any positive association. Learned helplessness is when an organism learns that it has no control over a situation. Negative reinforcement is removing an aversive stimulus to increase a behavior. Aversive conditioning uses an unpleasant stimulus to decrease a behavior. Here, the treats (a positive stimulus) are used to change the dog's perception of bathing, which is characteristic of counterconditioning.

Answer:

Counterconditioning
