SUMMARY:Online Course - Begins 6/16/20 - 4 Week Online Course - Fundamentals of Animal Behavior and Learning - IAABC
DESCRIPTION:Fundamentals of Animal Behavior and Learning\n“That there could be a science of behavior\, of what we do\, of who we are?\nHow could you resist that?”\n– Donald M. Baer \n\n\n\n\n\nDate\nRegister\n\n\nCourse begins: June 16\, 2020\nInstructors: Dr. Erica Feuerbacher & JoAnna Platzer\, B.Sc.\nRegister Now\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout the Course\nThis course will help you: \n\nThink scientifically about animal training and behavior consulting for all species.\nUnderstand and break training into component principles.\nUnderstand environmental events that maintain behavior.\nIncrease your ability to be humane and effective.\nUnderstand how labels such as “aggressive” or “submissive” cloud our thinking and our work.\nConsider what we are describing when we say an animal is “confident\,” “creative\,” “a problem solver\,” and how we should approach those learners.\nSee the common principles at play in different animals & species.\nBecome a more effective and humane trainer by cutting through the jargon and directly assessing behavior.\n\nCourse Activities\, Objectives\, & Assessment\nOnline Lectures: Each week there will be several short videos (10-20 minutes each; typically 60-90 minutes total per week) that will discuss the topics for that week. \nOnline Readings with Reading Guides: Each week you will have a scientific reading with a guide to help you navigate the reading. The paper will exemplify the principles being discussed that week. \nOnline Assignments: During Weeks 1-3\, you will have 1-2 short online assignments each week. Some of these will entail you giving an example and then giving feedback on examples provided by a few of your fellow students. \nOnline posts: During Weeks 2-4 you will post two questions\, comments or reflections relevant to the material from the previous week to the discussion forum. You will also respond to at least two of your fellow students’ posts from that week (= total of four posts per week). Your questions and responses will be graded based on their thoughtfulness and completeness. \nFinal Project: During Week 4\, you will complete a final project/paper in which you will synthesize the topics covered to cohesively analyze and scientifically critique publicly available training videos and handouts. \nThe class operates on a one-week cycle. The typical week with deadlines is provided below. \n\n\n\nDay\nAssignment\n\n\nSunday\nStart of week. Post two questions/comments to discussion forum based on prior week’s material by 11:55 pm.\n\n\nWednesday\nPost responses to two questions/comments on discussion board by 11:55 pm.\n\n\nSaturday\nComplete assignments for current week.\n\n\n\nClass Schedule\nThis four-week course will begin on the specified start date. The first three weeks will explore the scope of the course. There will be no new content in the fourth week which is reserved for completing final projects\, discussion and synthesizing the course content. Students will have access to the course material for 60 days after the course ends. \nCourse Completion/CEU Requirements\nAuditors must review all course material. This will be verified in the Learning Management System. \nFull Students must carry out the reading assignments listed in the syllabus before class (first class not included)\, complete all assignments\, check email and visit the learning site regularly (at least once a day) to check in on the discussion group. Students should expect to spend an average of 4-5 hours per week on course material and viewing\, depending on individual speed of learning and the week’s materials. \nRegistration Information\n\n\n\n\nAuditor\nFull Student\n\n\nCEUs\n6 (CCPDT\, IAABC\, KPA)\n8 (CCPDT\, IAABC\, KPA)\n\n\nIAABC & KPA Member Cost\n$129*\n$199*\n\n\nNon-Member Cost\n$159\n$259\n\n\n\n*IAABC Members – log into your member account for the discount code\n*KPA Members – contact KPA for the discount code \nOnline Course Cancellation Policy\n\nFull refunds available more than 30 days before program start.\n50% refund available 16 – 30 days before program start.\nNo refunds available 15 or fewer days before program start.\n\nAbout the Instructors\n \nErica Feuerbacher\, Ph.D.\, BCBA-D\, CPDT-KA is an Assistant Professor of Anthrozoology at Carroll College in Helena\, MT\, where she leads the canine program in which students train foster dogs during the academic year. She is a Board Certified Behavior Analyst and a Certified Professional Dog Trainer. She earned her Ph.D. in Psychology at the University of Florida under the advisorship of Dr. Clive Wynne in the UF Canine Cognition and Behavior Lab (now part of the Canine Science Collaboratory) and her Masters in Behavior Analysis in the Organization for Reinforcement Contingencies under the advisorship of Dr. Jesus Rosales-Ruiz. \nShe has published a variety of scientific articles of her research on learning theory and the dog-human relationship. She has taught Principles of Behavior Analysis\, Behaviorism in Contemporary Society\, Learning and Cognition\, Basic and Advanced Canine Training\, Research Methods\, and General Psychology at the college level. She has earned several awards for her behavior analytic research and her dedication to the theoretical foundations of behavior analysis. Her research interests center on dog-human social interactions\, canine welfare\, and enhancing humane\, effective training techniques. \n  \n  \n \nJoAnna Platzer\, B.Sc.\, CPDT-KA\, is a Doctoral Candidate in the Applied Animal Behavior and Welfare lab at Virginia Tech under Dr. Erica Feuerbacher.

After graduation\, she participated in research on site fidelity of Mockingbirds with the University of Florida\, social behavior of Fairy-wrens with Cornell University\, and comparative cognition of canines with Yale University. She has worked as a professional dog trainer and has experience in zoos and conservancies\, where she was involved in training exotic animal species for enrichment and low-stress husbandry. Her current research focuses on the impact of fostering programs on shelter dog welfare\, reinforcer efficacy of different types of grain for horses\, and behavioral synchronization between dogs and their owners. \nIf you have questions\, email us at courses@iaabc.org.
