c. If Derek comes home and finds a mess by the door, he ignores his dog for an hour.
d. Derek takes his dog outside on a fixed schedule and promptly gives him a treat for urinating outside.

Answer 1

The correct answer would be option D, Derek takes his dog outside on a fixed schedule and promptly gives him a treat for urinating outside.

Derek is frustrated that his one and a half year dog does not let him know when he needs to go outside to urinate.

Explanation:

According to the psychology, when a person does something good and is given reward for doing that, then his that behavior is reinforced and he is likely to do the same thing again and again to get himself rewarded.

Similarly if a person gets punishment of doing something, then his that behavior is likely to disappear.

So when Derek takes his dog outside on a fixed schedule and promptly gives him a treat when the dog urinates outside, the dog learns to urinate outside for the reward. His this behavior is reinforced through the reward.
