What do we really mean when we say “behavior”?
In this powerful kickoff to Season 6 of Pod to the Rescue, we’re joined by world-renowned behavior scientist Dr. Susan Friedman, Professor Emeritus of Psychology at Utah State University and founder of Behavior Works.
Together, we explore:
Why behavior is an evolved adaptation
The truth about reinforcement and punishment
Why “scolding” isn’t necessary for learning
How to build a “trust account” with your dog
The ABC model (Antecedent-Behavior-Consequence)
Why confidence is a label—and what it actually looks like
Errorless learning and how to reduce mistakes in training
How positive reinforcement builds resilience
Whether you're a new adopter, foster, shelter professional, or trainer, this episode will fundamentally change the way you see behavior.
Because rescuing the dog is just the first step.
