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 third installment of our conversation with Dr. Joe Layng about schedules of reinforcement.  In this episode we’ll be talking more directly about shaping.  Joe introduces some more terms into the discussion, including ratio strain.  He makes distinctions between a program and a schedule, and between contingencies and dependencies.  And he highlights the role that extinction plays in shaping.
