The Animal Behaviour Podcast. With a cumulative 60+ years of professional animal training experience, Deane, Ryan and Steve can't help but get nerdy on the science of learning when they get together. One day, Ryan had an incredible, original thought: "We should make a podcast!" Deane loves dolphins, Ryan is obsessed with a guy called Premack and Steve is whimsical about a time when you could buy a lion cub at a department store. Join us as we dive into the wonderful world behaviour in these unfiltered, barely structured conversations.
