Session #39

• Approach with the collar from above – making things easier than yesterday to not cause her to back up.
• Rainy season thoughts!

Session #40

• More collar approaches from above.
• I talk about wanting to avoid negatively reinforcing the behavior of backing up.
• Thoughts on classical and operant conditioning always going hand in hand. (I meant to say light can be seen as particles or waves, not particles or rays – oops!)

Session #41

• Review of my reasons for using a low value treat (kibble).
• A reminder that my work with this dog is all about the journey – I would not take this approach with a client’s dog, where the goal (putting on a collar) was actually important.
