Building Optimal Animal Training Procedures

Animal training procedures involve both practical skills and theoretical knowledge. Behavior analysts have outlined dimensions or strategies to help identify, develop, and implement procedures. I share many examples with different species to demonstrate that procedures can be more complicated than they seem at first glance. However, just like any complex task, we can break them down into smaller, more manageable parts. I also explore the idea of improving trainers' ability to create effective procedures by becoming proficient in the smaller elements that make up the procedure. Finally, I suggest a set of foundational skills that animal trainers could learn first to accelerate their growth and learning. This approach might empower trainers to combine skills in creative ways to solve problems and achieve goals more efficiently. --------------- 📚 RECOMMENDED CITATION Barbara Heidenreich.
