Although Pavlov’s best-known work—showing how an environmental stimulus can influence a behavioral response—was groundbreaking, he won a Nobel Prize in 1904 for something different. He earned the honor for his research into the animal digestive system. After surgically removing a dog’s esophagus, Pavlov fed the animal and observed how the process of digestion worked, measuring the digestive secretions of the stomach and pancreas.
I almost got a psych degree in the ’60s. I had a classical conditioning money making idea that I never tried. The idea was to get a blood pressure cuff and something that administered a shock. Guys who were facing a draft physical would pay me to put the blood pressure cuff on them and then give them a shock. It should result in a high blood pressure reading.

Given that their reward was a big bowl of gazpacho, I can see why the dogs might be cheesed off.

I think those two were the stars of that hit movie “Droolie and Droolia”.
