Posted • When we first met Tucker six months ago he was fearful, anxious and reactive with a variety of triggers. His people have been working diligently through our behavior and day training programs and it has paid off big time. Today he received his first Adequan injection without any force or fear. We are so proud of Tucker and his people!!!

Posted • I first learned about this framework in Dr. Susan Friedman’s class Living and Learning with Animals. When we’re looking to modify an unwanted behavior, our goal is to teach the learner what we want them to do instead while ideally providing a reinforcer that meets the function of the behavior we’re looking to replace. The criteria of making the problem behavior ineffective, inefficient, and irrelevant is a great alternative to the traditional mode of aiming to “fix” or “punish” unwanted behaviors.
So when I came across most recent post depicting what this looks like with human learners, I wanted to share and show an example of how this applies to modifying our dogs’ behaviors. This is adapted and shared with permission, but please be sure to check out Caitlin’s latest post and caption for more information on the he Competing Behavior Model Pathway.
Yes, we can successfully modifying behaviors without using punishment and behavior suppression. Yes, we can teach sustainable skills to replace problem behaviors without compromising the welfare of our learners.
“When a positive alternative behavior (i.e., a replacement skill) provides the same type of consequence that problem behaviors produce, the likelihood that a person will use the alternative behavior increases. This is especially true if the positive alternative is easier, or somehow more efficient, than problem behaviors. The problem behaviors are replaced by alternatives that successfully compete.” (Roberts, 2017)

I taught Nova to jump in to the car on cue, and to wait until asked before jumping out. Yesterday she taught Wiley, who is super scared of the car, how to get in all on his own. Proud mom moment for sure!

Eight weeks ago I got to help the best little mamma dog bring four perfect puppies in to the world. Today, I got to see those babies go to their forever homes. Sometimes, I really love what I do.

Enrichment improves the quality of life of all pets. In a shelter environment, it’s essential for the mental well being of the dogs, cats and small animals in our care. For a dog like Evie, who has been bounced around quite a bit in her short life and as a result is pretty shy, enrichment activities help reduce kennel stress, develop problem solving skills, and improve confidence. Evie is available to adopt through @homewardboundanimals if you would like to learn more about her please contact them directly. If you can, please consider donating enrichment items like food dispensing toys, puzzle feeders, snuffle mats, high value treats, easy cheese, peanut butter, hot dogs, and yogurt. #aclickawaytraining #dogtraining #behaviorconsultant #positivereinforcement #R➕ #enrichment #fooddispenser #puzzle #kong #shelterdog #pibble #adoptable #adoptme #homewardboundaddisoncountyhumanesociety

I’ve been working with Rouser and his mom for several months. In that time she’s taken the homework and run with it. Rouser’s reactivity is improving in all areas, and he’s learning to appropriately engage with other dogs. He and Nova really hit it off after several sessions of playing pattern games and Look at Ynat from Leslie McDevitt. These training sessions helped Rouser learn to relax around Nova and start to perceive her presence as a good thing. This good girl took care of the rest 💗 #aclickawaytraining #dogsrockvermont #dogtraining #behaviorconsultant #positivereinforcement #R➕ #reactivedog #fearfuldog #husky #aussiemix #playtime #controlunleashed #dogsofvermont #essexjunction

Let’s talk muzzle training. I teach all of my dogs that wearing a muzzle is fun weather they routinely need a muzzle or not. I do this so that if there is ever an emergency where they’re in pain, they can be muzzled at the vet without added stress. I do this because behavior is always evolving and changing, if one of my dogs runs in to a behavior challenge they’re already comfortable with the muzzle. Nova is new to muzzle training, and has a history of being head shy so I’m introducing the muzzle on the floor. This way it’s 100% her choice to stick her nose in to the muzzle. I’ll keep posting updates of our progress. In the mean time check out @muzzle_up_project for additional resources. Have questions about muzzle training? Let me know! #aclickawaytraining #dogtraining #behaviorconsultant #positivereinforcement #R+ #muzzleup #muzzletraining #husky #dogsofvermont

I absolutely love working with deaf dogs. Here Stella is learning that the presence of another dog means great things happen to her by playing the Look at That game developed by Leslie McDevitt. The hand flash takes the place of an auditory marker like a clicker, and I’m pointing out the other dog to Stella physically rather than verbally. Great job Stella! Thank you to @fourpawsitivity and Lucy for their help in this training session. #aclickawaytraining #dogsrockvermont #dogtraining #behaviorconsultant #petsbehavingwellvideo #positivereinforcement #R➕ #reactivedog #deafdogsrock #deafdogtraining #cattledog #dogsofvermont #essexjunction
