Description
Of course, we’ll discuss a different sort of force than Obi-Wan Kenobi referred to in Star Wars! In this webinar, we’ll examine the use of coercion in animal training, with the goal of bringing greater clarity and mindfulness to choices surrounding the use of force with our learners. While we strive to minimize our use of aversives, it’s essential we understand the science of punishment and be aware of its potential side-effects. Is negative punishment always preferable to positive punishment? Are secondary punishers safer than primary punishers? Acknowledging that punishment can “work,” what are the behavioral costs to the animal and to the punisher? And how can we help our clients manage interactions with their pets to decrease their use of aversives?
