A CER or Conditioned Emotional Response, is an internal change within a dog in direct response to a particular 'thing' or 'environment'.
It isn't something which happens in response to existing rewards or corrections .. it is something which happens as a RESULT of a prior history of reward or correction association in respect of a particular 'thing' or 'context'. If the response is dependant upon continued rewards or corrections, then a conditioned emotional response has not been established.
Basic behavioural psychology, which a lot of dog trainers and dog behaviourists fail to actually understand.
If you are still feeding, throwing toys or correcting a dog in response to a particular 'trigger', then you have failed to condition an emotional response in the dog.
