1. Introduction to Operant Conditioning
In this video clip your Hostess, Shelley Wood, walks you through how you will learn from this video series. She explains how the video series is designed for you to easily learn to use operant conditioning to train animals.
This video clip clearly explains one of the training tools known as "criteria." A dolphin free jump behavior realistically demonstrates how the "criteria" concept is connected to training.
This video clip effectively demonstrates how important timing is when delivering reinforcements. Poor reinforcement delivery can mistakenly train unwanted behavior. A trainer wants to train a dog to "shake" but instead she trains a completely different behavior.
This video clip provides a sneak peek of our bonus video series called Training Time. The Host of the series, Mike Wood, walks you through a bird training session and shows you how learning the terms used by professional trainers apply to real training scenarios.
