Yeah this is probably the most true thing in this stack. You cannot "un-learn" something, including bad habits. Once you've learned something, it's part of your brain. You can only build a different pathway and strengthen it so that it becomes the default, and then the old habit/learning will slowly atrophy and fade away -- but it never completely goes away.
Positive reinforcement is the only way to train yourself new complex behaviors. Preferably using back-chaining for new environments. To reprogram existing behaviors you need to find the points where the "wrong" behavior is triggered and identify something that always occurs just before that trigger point. Then program/train yourself to do the new behavior based on the preceding trigger. That way you start down the path of the new desired behavior before the old undesired behavior gets triggered. Eventually it will atrophy and rarely get triggered any more (but still sometimes).
We share >80% of our DNA with any other arbitrary mammal, so you can use any book on dog training for this. I recommend Sophia Yin.
