This should be a link to the webinar replay. Only available for a few days.
Here is some feed back from others who watched.
These were some of the take-home messages that you found!
I have trained my dogs with positive reinforcement for over twenty years. What you did for me, was to put words on how to explain this for friends and family. YOU GAVE me the power to keep going and spread the word. THANK YOU ❤️
Great refresher for me! Not just animals learn all the time,we humans do too!
That the dogs role is to be taught.
How much animal (dog) training has changed over the last few years!
That it is OK to say that humans do learn as other animals...
The 'positive' in positive reinforcement.
Especially the point with the communication and motivation was very well explained from you, I really liked it because in my opinion it's the most most most important thing in training.
The importance of being aware of unintentional training.
I was reminded of the power of a physical target, something I have faded out over time without realising it's potential.
I had never worked with hot and cold targets in the past, so I found that concept useful.
Was very useful seeing videos of the animals learning. Especially like the pony loading. I've never seen that before - it was so busy with targeting, that loading into a trailer was no big deal - brilliant idea!
The part about motivation. I have a dog who is food-happy, so motivation hasn't been a problem in my life - yet! But it is a good reminder that it may not always go as smooth as it do today.
The motivation scales.
SEEKING produces a dopamine rush, which shows up in behaviour like enthusiasm, arousal and excitement. It made me think how this can cause issues in an animal that has been trained for a few years and has expectations that have built up over time due to with sloppy training! So then, the importance of clear communication.
Dopamine related lip licking.
How to work the clicker properly!
How much of an impact clicker training can be, and how useful it is in training. I spent an hour looking for mine that I bought years ago, but I was unsuccessful. I'll be ordering a new one soon.
Clicker training can be more reinforcing than food rewards alone.
There is only 1/2 second to deliver the reinforcer for it to be effective.
The amount and frequency of reward required.
The impact of training foundation behaviours on future learning.
How classical and operant conditioning are intertwined.
To think about why my animal don’t play with me, that maybe there is some classically learned reason.
To be aware of emotions at all times.
Why dogs sit! And common misconceptions about this eg they want to please you etc etc.
Building relationships by building a reinforcement history with the animal.
Incompatible behaviors are the best alternative for decreasing undesirable behaviors.
I got yummy little treats. The way you explained why we add the cue when the behavior is learned, is just better than the way I usually do it. Extremely useful things like that.
'No training' isn't an option.
Inspired me to start working on trailer loading with my horse. I don't have a trailer to practise with, but I was inspired to start writing down all the various components for loading and travelling in a trailer and then figuring out creative ways to work on each component independently.
As a long time qualified dog trainer and COAPE companion animal behaviourist I am very familiar with the content presented. That said, what I really admired and enjoyed is your unique art and skill of presenting the complex scientific data in such an easily understandable and fun format. I am looking forward to tomorrow's webinar for more of the same. Many thanks!
