In this LIVE Dem-OH!, learn to structure, assess, and continually improve training sessions while leaving room for innovation. Instead of getting stuck in the paralysis that can come from over-planning, discover the joy of letting your learner lead the way. Participants will each be given a training challenge.
Skateboarding: A Rad Window to the Soul of Training Decisions
A complex and super fun behavior, skateboarding is a perfect vehicle for examining some of the least obvious but most important trainer skills—how to break down behaviors and how long to reinforce a behavior before raising criteria. See just how many ways a behavior can be broken down!
Train That Chain: Behavior Chains
Behavior chains are powerful tools that enable the execution of complex tasks and provide flexible solutions. However, they are also a magnet for superstitious trainer behaviors and confusion. Laura VanArendonk Baugh emphasizes that chains don’t have to be as complicated as we tend to perceive them. Let’s embrace this challenge!
Cultivating Effective Reinforcers
Many trainers get stuck by thinking of reinforcement as a static entity. For Hannah Branigan, there are numerous ways to enhance existing reinforcers and even create new ones from scratch. By applying effective training principles and recognizing reinforcement processes as learnable skills, you gain greater control over the strength of your reinforcers and, consequently, enhance the power and efficiency of your training.
All Ears: Protocols for Dogs with Sound Sensitivity
An estimated one-third to two-thirds of dogs have noise aversions! If you saw 12 dogs last week, 4-8 of them are likely to develop noise sensitivities in their lifetimes. Not only can a fear of sounds be physiologically and emotionally damaging for dogs, but it can also strain the human-animal relationship.
