The puppy eventually acquires this ability, and Molly realises how irritating it is for the puppy to run up to her every time she enters the house. She attempts to make the puppy stop, and eventually the puppy no longer feels motivated to greet her when she enters the house.

The puppy no longer greeting her when she enters the house is an example of extinction

- The above conditioned behaviour is the reason that dog stopped running up to Molly and greeting her
