This is part 2 of our conversation with Mary Hunter.   We are continuing to use Mary’s recent StaleCheerios blog posts as the launching point for a series of interesting discussions. Mary’s April post: “Assess your Reinforcement Delivery” gave us a lot to talk about.  I especially liked this topic because it let us talk about how much we can influence our horse’s balance through the thoughtful use of food delivery.  

We’ve talked about this a lot for horses.  In this episode we consider how the details that we focus on for horses might also be relevant to dog training.

This is the fifth and final part of our conversation with Dr Claire St Peter.  Claire is a behavior analyst.  She teachers At West Virginia University where she has recently taken on a new role.  She is now Chair of the department of behavior analysis.  

We have been down in the weeds considering the definitions of words both trainers and behavior analysts use on a regular basis.  We started in episode 248 by asking what is shaping.  Last week we asked: what is behavior?  And now we are asking how do you define environment.  The answer begins with a surprise.
