Conference Update: The Art and Science of Animal Training
PROGRAM UPDATE: presentation descriptions for
The Art and Science of Animal Training: Where Are We Now? Where Are We Going? Are now available at www.orgs.unt.edu/orca SAMPLER: The Art of Training by Steve Martin Training is as much an art form as it is a science. Though all animal training has a solid foundation in the science of behavior, it is often the little things that we don't read in psychology books or "Don't Shoot The Dog" that have the most important influence on our training practices. These are things we often do in our training sessions every day, like preparing the environment for success. Sometimes we don't even realize we are doing them, like building trustful relationships on solid foundations of positive experiences. Sometimes we keep them to ourselves because they are not in the training protocol and we are not sure if we are supposed to be doing them, like giving an animal the power to influence its environment ... including our body language. This presentation will explore some training practices that don't get as much attention as the mainstream training protocols.
