the dentist is using "aversive conditioning" to cure Jerry's excess eating of sweets.

Aversive Conditioning is the utilization of something upsetting, or a discipline, to stop an undesirable conduct. In the event that a canine is figuring out how to stroll on a rope close by his proprietor, an undesired conduct would be the point at which the puppy pulls on the rope. The proprietor may utilize a neckline that conveys a stun when a pooch pulls - inevitably the canine partners pulling on the rope with getting an excruciating stun and quits pulling.
