Extract

Persistent night-time disturbance in a small dog was treated by extinction. The difficulties of carrying out the programme, which in this case necessitated the use of an associate therapist, are discussed. Although a reversal design was not employed and therefore contingency control could not be indisputably demonstrated, the programme was judged to have been successful.
