#36 - Dr. Susan Friedman: Become a Better Animal Trainer
Description
In this week's interview episode, we are joined by Dr. Susan G Friedman Ph.D. For those of you who have had the pleasure of hearing Susan talk before, you know that this is going to be a great episode full of nuggets that you can apply to your animal training, but also just to your life in general.
Susan walks the walk when it comes to implementing what they know about behavior in all facets of life. In this episode, you're going to hear Emily and Susan talk about:
- Learners are learners are learners
- Do you actually need to teach that behavior?
- Unnatural solutions for natural behaviors.
Content Warning
We wanted to provide a content warning for this episode because we do discuss some difficult topics such as ABA practices with human learners and the not so great history of the development of what least intrusive practices have looked like over the past few decades. So this content warning is to empower you, our audience, with the knowledge you need to make healthy decisions about how and if you should consume this podcast content.
Discussion of ABA practices with human learners from 32:11-47:28.
