SUMMARY:Online Event – 1/2/25 – Live from the Ranch: Social Reinforcement with Ken Ramirez and Maia Huff-Owen  – Karen Pryor Academy
DESCRIPTION:On Live from The Ranch\, Maia Huff-Owen will join Ken Ramirez to share insights on social reinforcement—where the reinforcer involves the behavior of another being besides your learner—which she gained from teaching positive reinforcement sheep herding. \nExplore what makes social reinforcement a powerful catalyst for fabulous performances\, why it merits explicit consideration and preparation in dog training\, and how positive sheepdog training techniques can foster a partnership that thrives even when you can’t control the ultimate reinforcer—be it sheep\, squirrels\, or even your spouse. \nTune in on Thursday\, January 2\, at 1:00 pm (PT) for this free\, live broadcast with audience Q&A! \nWEBSITE LINK: https://theranch.clickertraining.com/live/#next
