Everything except dodging reverse psychology apparently. One dog owner outsmarted his dog using reverse psychology in order to get it to take medicine.  In the video, Fellipe Vilaca Chibante tricks his furry friend—a Dachshund named "Melissa" a.k.a.

The American psychologist is most famous for his theory of the principle of reinforcement, or operant conditioning.
