BECOME A BEST PERENTS

Today’s Topic: : Planning for the Best-Case Training Scenario, While Being Prepared for the Worst Our goal is to have a training session in which we work through approximations so that animals emit behaviors that result in desired outcomes. Often this is accomplished by careful planning, creative designing, and thoughtful application. However, training involves working with living organisms and many factors can contribute to even the best of intentions straying off track. In today’s livestream we discuss strategies to consider that support getting to the best-case scenario, while being proactive in preparing for the worst-case scenario, and what to do when things don’t go as planned. Join the discussion to learn more about smoothing out the bumps when a training session goes off course. Join the live discussion to share your experiences.

Today’s Topic: : Dissemination Practices of Animal Training Information The field of animal training continues to evolve. Popular magazines and books have evolved into peer reviewed journal articles. However, there are many outlets from which to learn. There is value in evaluating the practices used when information is disseminated. As an emphasis towards evidence-based information becomes more significant, it is important for consumers to recognize when persuasive practices are being employed. In today’s livestream we will explore some of the common persuasive tactics observed used to influence consumers in the professional animal training industry.

Today’s Topic: Exploring the Metaphor of “Trust Accounts” in Animal Training The metaphor of a “trust account” has been heavily promoted in animal training. But what do we really know about this metaphor? Where did it come from? Has it been empirically tested? What is the behavioral explanation for when it seems to “work” and when it doesn’t work?

Today’s Topic: Group Learning (AKA Cooperative Learning) and Behavior Working with a group to meet objectives can be seen in both human and animal learners. In today’s livestream we will explore some of the information available about working together as a group to learn something and/or achieve a desired outcome. As most of us have experienced it takes more than just putting a group of people together and expecting a good outcome. We will explore the pros, the cons, and what might facilitate successful group learning and behavior.

Today’s Topic: An Exploration of “States” and their Impact on Animal Behavior Trainers often hypothesize based on observation and our own human experience that a tired, hungry, or sick animal may be more or less likely to participate in a training session. Behavior problems are also often attributed to certain states such as reproductive hormone amplification. This week’s livestream will take a look into the evidence being explored in neuroscience regarding states and behavior and how to relate this to a behaviorist’s approach to animal training.

Today's Topic: Using the SMART Model to Set and Achieve your Animal Training Goals With our new behavior challenge on the horizon this livestream topic seemed very timely. It is one thing to have a behavior goal, it is another thing to have a SMART behavior goal! The SMART acronym has been around since the 80’s and is relevant to just about any goal. In today’s livestream we will explore how this can be applied in the world of animal training. Bring you training goals and put them to the SMART test.
