Description
Episode originally aired on Pure Dog Talk. Show link can be found below.
About Lara Joseph: Lara Joseph is the owner of The Animal Behavior Center, an international, educational center focusing on teaching people how to work with animals using positive reinforcement and approaches in Applied Behavior Analysis. She is a professional animal behavior consultant and trainer.
Lara explains how positive reinforcement training works – and why it’s so effective! She uses it extensively with zoo animals and exotics, as well as with companion dogs.
She also explains how to shape behaviors, such as crate training, digging, and jumping up. Redirecting the dog’s behavior requires correctly identifying the “reinforcer” – in other words what the dog wants – and then providing that reinforcer for an acceptable behavior.
Laura and Lara discuss how to listen to your dog, and how to approach the topic of aggression in canines.
