Summary

In this episode, we discuss the power of starting your session conservatively, how being in a position to increase your criteria rapidly is better than being greedy and being forced to lower it, the importance of avoiding getting stuck on a plateau, how to save yourself if you’ve already done it, implementing an easy/hard/easy pattern in your session, using a reinforcement strategy that continues the path of the entire loop, and increasing criteria between the click and the treat before increasing it between the cue and the click.
