Summary

Giving animals choice in their training sounds like such a wonderful thing. But what exactly does that mean? And in real life, it doesn’t feel good when your dog makes a choice to opt out of a training session by ignoring you, sniffing the ground, leaving the ring, etc… That’s not very reinforcing.

In this episode, Chirag Patel and I discuss how we should we handle these behaviors while still maintaining our positive reinforcement framework.

0:00.0	I think if we listen to their whispers, then they don't have a need to shout and scream,
0:04.0	but so often we take the whispers away from them, and so they learn that the only way to have people listen is by shouting and screaming or getting physical. Hey there, fellow training nerds.
0:29.5	Welcome to drinking from the toilet, the podcast about the reality of teaching and training with positive reinforcement.
0:35.0	I'm your host, Hannah Branigan.
0:37.1	By the time you're listening
0:38.0	to this episode, I will hopefully have finished putting the final touches on my Clicker Expo
0:42.1	presentations and may even be on my way to Portland. I might even be there if you don't listen to

1:21.3	speaking and attending conferences like Clicker Expo is getting to meet and work with so many
1:27.0	cool, smart people. And sometimes I can
1:30.2	even convince them to work on projects with me after the conference is over, like recording podcast
1:34.6	episodes. And sometimes even do live workshops, like the ones I talked Lindsay Wood Brown and
