Event Navigation

We all train dogs everyday using the science of learning theory. We believe certain things like shock hurts dogs and clickers are excellent teaching tools. Do you know the science behind those ideas? Do you have the information needed to explain to be able to evolve your explanations of training techniques to help clients understand why they should buy in?

We are going to explore the scientific evidence for those statements that we hold so dear, learn new concepts and bust those training myths!

Previously aired during Geek Week 2021

Learning Objectives:

Understand the science behind the most common training techniques and tools.
Feel comfortable making statements from different perspectives in order to persuade clients to utilize the most advanced and scientifically backed techniques.
