Most of us here at Behavioral Connections have and love dogs. Most people everywhere love dogs. I don’t have any scientific evidence to back that up, but I mean… come on…
So this gave me an idea. I can write a post and kill two birds with one stone: teach a lesson about classical conditioning and get some of you to stop yelling “no!” at your dogs.
I see this all the time and it drive me nuts. I’ll be walking the previously pictured lovable doofus and come across another human-canine pair. And then the barking starts. Some very aggressive…

Hi BC Families!
Big update #1. We’ll be hosting a big opening ceremony on June 15th and you’re all invited! We want to introduce the New Bedford community to our vision, our therapies, the facility, and our big plans for the future.
That community includes pediatricians, neurologists, nurses, psychologists, case workers, teachers, educators, and, of course, you (the families).
It’s a chance for all of us to bring together our concerns, our knowledge, and our compassion. In a unified voice, we can act to give children afflicted by Autism the means to succeed. …
Dear Behavioral Connections families, past, present, and future…

Excited for so many cool things we get to do…
