Abstract
This paper deals with a specific type of traumatic avoidance for the learning process of normal dogs enclosed into a small compartment with a steel grid floor. Our aim is to analyze the behavior of the dogs in such situations and to construct a suitable mathematical model for it. The existence and uniqueness results of the proposed traumatic avoidance learning model are being investigated by the use of the Banach fixed point theorem.
