Do you find the process of learning as much fun as the result? Here is a little before and after of training “nametags/individual targets.” What great progress in just 2 sessions with the fabulous goats and staff members of the @frankbuckzoo . If you look closely you will see each goat learned a slightly different way to engage with the target to earn reinforcers. Goats who initially were challenging to get started ended up progressing fast once they got the concept. Whereas others who started out strong, took more fine tuning to fade out familiar prompts. This to me is the fun part of training. The journey is never exactly the same, which means you get to practice your creativity and decision-making skills to help the animal find the easy path to reinforcement every time you train. Looking forward to seeing all goats on their nametag stations on my next visit.

Fluency can mean the animal understands the cue and presents the correct behavior when cued. It also means not jumping the gun and anticipating what may happen next. Watch Laverne learn her criteria is she must wait until cued to present the behavior of jumping onto the cube. Did you get a chance to check out the latest Animal Training Fundamentals podcast on How do You Know if a Behavior is Fluent? I go over what criteria to measure to evaluate whether a behavior that is being presented is fluent. The benefit of measuring is that it highlights what aspects of the behavior have been successfully trained and what particular aspect(s) still need work to achieve fluency. Listen here https://animaltrainingfundamentals.com/podcasts/how-do-you-know-if-behavior-is-fluent/ and also on your favorite podcast outlets. #fluency #fluentbehavior #goattraining #anticipatingbehavior #oncue #stimuluscontrol #animaltrainingpodcast https://www.instagram.com/p/B6lZvLvleaz/?igshid=1aeqq6e7an9pb

Sound on! One of my favorite clips from our first session with the goats at @furuviksparken in Sweden. And yes he made it all the way to the fence while his goat held station. Off to Europe again soon. Each facility, team and animals provides new opportunities to refine training techniques and develop strategies that can help improve animal welfare around the world. #goats #goattraining @angelicaasberg

Never underestimate the power of goat training! A very good and educational time was had working on training goats to target, station, recall and more. Look at this excellent duration for stationing accomplished in one session with a naive goat. #goattraining #positivereinforcement #stationtraining #stationing #zooanimaltraining @furuviksparken (at Furuviksparken)

Lunch break, teaching Toast to wave #goats #goattraining @avianbehavior (at Avian Behavior International)

Even after a morning of giraffe and polar bear training, I couldn't resist training this cutie during my lunch break. #goats #goatsofinstagram #goattraining #zooanimaltraining #pettingzoo #goatyard #zookarlsruhe #positivereinforcementtraining #willworkforscratches #targettraining (at Zoo Karlsruhe Exotenhaus)
