Show Notes:

Anna's Background 

  • WOOF conference
  • Question the things that we do. Why do we do the things we do?

    • Behavior is the study of 1

    • More behavioral variety within 1 breed than 2 separate breeds

      • How we can use what we learn from animals with humans

      • What to know before getting a dog
      • Environment
      • Dog's sense of smell - When they smell its like they’re reading the news or on Facebook

        • Reinforcement and Rewards

        • Punishment can only modify behavior, it can't teach
        • Teach an alternative that's more reinforcing than the previous habit
        • Learning curve and extinction curve
        • Focus on what you or the dog do want, not what you don't want
        • Rate of reinforcement

          • Common myths about animals
