Lindsay Wood Brown joins us for a conversation on counter conditioning. Dominique starts us off by describing the situation she has with her easily distracted dog. The behavior she’s dealing with is something many of us have to contend with - whether it is a dog or a horse who is exhibiting the behavior.

In this conversation we begin with the basics - what is counter conditioning? Lindsay describes how she would have talked about it earlier in her career. She then brings us forward to her current understanding of these procedures. The shift takes her from classical conditioning to operant. The change helps her to refine the procedures and gives her a systematic strategy to progress with an animal.
