I think this does happen. Our male dog is more reflexively reactive in scratching. He seems even more reflexively reactive to smells or verbal stimulation. Sometimes now, his back legs paddle when he is offered a biscuit. Other times, he may fall when he is fallowing a scent, as if he just lifts a front leg out of reflex.

What is the difference between a unconditioned reflex and a conditioned reflex?

A conditioned reflex is learned through association, such as Pavlov's dogs salivating at the sound of a bell paired with food. In contrast, an unconditioned reflex is an innate, automatic response to a stimulus without prior learning, like blinking when something comes close to your eye.
