    Episode 3: Agency is an Antecedent

    Join us as we explore the complex relationship and differences between choice, freedom, and agency in animal training; and delve into whether our current discussions surrounding agency are truly reaping the benefits described in the current literature to empower animals. The science is clear, agency isn't an aspiration, it's a prerequisite and fundamental component of instructional design. Don't miss out on this thought-provoking journey!

    Episode 2: Introducing Jenn! How did we get here?

    In this episode, we introduce co-host Jenn Dize, self-described dog-nerd, as we recount the story of how Jenn's adorable and reactive pup Chloe, and TikTok prompted her to take a headlong leap into choice-based communication. How the R+2.0 community sparked a friendship fueled by our mutual passion for learning, animals, and science. We hope you all will join us in continuing to explore the boundaries of what may be possible in our lives and work alongside animals!

    Episode 1: Cognitive Distortions

    If we acknowledge the probability that animals experience cognitive distortions, how could we possibly apply practical strategies to address it? We don't have to read an animal's mind, we can act to combat the potential for false predictions not by acknowledging what will not be, but rather by modeling what will be. By crafting a learning environment that guarantees safety, and creates a space for them to explore the reality of whatever their expectations are. Crafting learning environments enables the learner to construct knowledge that benefits them as it relates to their past learning history and experiences, and how it may best contribute to their future needs. It offers a variety of paths toward the absorption of the necessary information. This type of teaching is at the forefront of human learning experiences, a learner-centered approach. It’s not new or groundbreaking in theory or practice in the human realm, but it is so foreign to us in animal training, it's time we catch up. Click here for a transcript of this episode.
