As the joke goes, "The problem with Operant Conditioning is that it works"

Husband Training: Dolphin Training Techniques Applied to Men

"Women are demanding better behavior from their batter half, by getting romance tips from Amy Sutherland, author of 'What Shamu Taught Me About Life, Love and Marriage'.

After spending time with some of the best animal trainers in the world, Sutherland decided to use the same training techniques to teach dolphins to jump and to teach her husband Scott to be a better spouse.

“It just dawned on me that if it worked on every kind of animal under the sun, well, we're animals too,” Sutherland said."

So how good is her husband at balancing a ball on his head while doing a back flip and singing the Star-Spangled Banner??

I was thinking more along the lines of every time they had sex, she would throw him a fish as positive reinforcement.

"So long, and thanks for all the fish"?

Maybe that's what I was doing wrong. Not enough sushi dinners.

Yeah, I was joking about the "bucket of mackerel by the bed" to a friend.

From what I've read about it in the past, it's actually pretty reasonable advice, like rewarding positive behavior instead of punishing negative, and the book is more about her learning better ways to interact than about "training" her husband. Attention-getting marketing for the win, or something.
