I will note that the counterconditioning article assumes that food is the best reward. This works for some but not all pets. While food is a survival need and thus very attention-getting for many organisms, not all pets are food-reward. Those who are love-reward or play-reward may need a different approach.
This is especially relevant in using the techniques with people. You have to know what they value most.
