In this episode of K9 Conservationists, Kayla speaks with Sarah Owings about Stimulus Control. Science Highlight: "Reactivity to Stimuli” Is a Temperamental Factor Contributing to Canine Aggression What is stimulus control? Understanding that the environment has an influence on behavior Ex: if you're really tired, the presence of the bed (stimulus), it's going to be reinforcing to go lay down on it.Therefore the bed is the stimulus controlling the behavior to lay down, and the reinforcement is feeling good from laying down. It is happening all the time, every day Stimulus control is more than impulse control Fluency goes hand in hand with stimulus control as well. A behavior is not fluent if its not under stimulus control Clear rules, routine, and consistency can help with stimulus control as well Cue THEN move Similar to click then treat. Cue then present a toy, cue then throw, etc. A trick to help put a behavior on stimulus control Cue first, then move your body or present the item Links Mentioned in the Episode: None Where to find Sarah Owings: Tromplo Courses | Facebook | Cyber Dog Online You can support the K9 Conservationists Podcast by joining our Patreon at patreon.com/k9conservationists.

Pendant longtemps, je voyais uniquement les erreurs commisses soit par moi ou par mon chien. J'avais l'impression que tout ce que je faisais était mauvais. Puis, j'ai rencontré Sarah Owings à travers Cyberscent et l'Animal Traning Acadmy. Sarah propose une rubique de révision de ses entraînements toute simple, avec 3 questions. Pour être honnête, au départ, j'avais de la difficulté à répondre à ces questions et je n'aimais pas la rubrique pour cette raison! Puis, avec la répitition, je me suis mise à voir non seulement de l'amélioration dans mes entraînements, mais aussi un changement de perspective par rapport à ma relation avec mon chien et ma confiance envers mes compétences. Ainsi, dans cet épisode, je te partage ces 3 questions et en quoi elles m'ont tant apporté.

In this episode of K9 Conservationists, Kayla speaks with Sarah Owings from Cyber Dog Online Training about clean mechanics for training and working with high drive dogs. Science Highlight: Detecting small and cryptic animals by combining thermography and a wildlife detection dog Why do mechanics matter? Clarity shapes all learning. The clearer you are with your dog, the more successful they will be. Before you blame the dog, be sure your mechanics are clean and communication is consistent and clear. What problems can poor mechanics cause? Dogs may steal food or toys from you, bark, whine, zoomie, etc. This is all from a lack of communication What are some human-end behaviors that can cause miscommunication? Lumping criteria (ie. jumping too many steps at once) Having no criteria/winging it Sessions that are too long Lack of reinforcement strategies What are some mechanics or exercises to improve handler to dog communication? Make sure the criteria is doable and raise the criteria slowly over time Reinforcement pattern games; can you give a dog a reward and they will know exactly where it's going to be (in the mouth, tossed, on the ground, etc.)? If your dog is sniffing around a lot for the rewards, treat in a dish on the ground to clean up the loop Are there situations where switching up the type of food or toy is a good idea? Switching to a lower value reward may just be a crutch. It is important to find what was causing the frustration, because chances are it wasn't that the reward was too high value. If you are having issues, you may be holding out longer than the dog can handle. The dog needs to know how to earn the reward, no matter what. Choice of reinforcement can make your delivery mechanics better or worse.

In 2020 Sarah Owings bought fifteen acres in northern California. She's now learning from the land to figure out how best to be a good caretaker of that land. She has to deal with invasives, including foxtails. She wants to plant natives but always there are possible unintended consequences. There is a lot to be learned from someone who is a skilled learner. Sarah is good at asking questions. What do we need to consider? What can seem like a good idea may end up having more of an environmental cost that benefit. Sarah helps to form the questions we all need to be considering.

This week I zoomed off to Northern California for a visit with Sarah Owings. Sarah is a dog trainer. She’s a member of the Clicker Expo faculty and she’s an eager learner. Over the years Sarah and I have had many great conversations about training. Now we get to talk about how best to manage our land. Sarah is very much in a fire zone so any planting decisions she makes has to take that into consideration. She may be dealing with a very different climate from mine, but I still learned a lot that will help my spring planning during our conversation. Many of you listening to this podcast bought your land to give your horses more freedom. Sarah bought her fifteen acres to give her dogs more freedom. She bought her property in 2020 so she is just beginning to figure out what she wants to do with it. That’s a great time to check in to see what her beginning steps have been. Often when you take on a new property, it can be overwhelming. Where do you begin? Sarah is great at doing her homework. Recently that homework has included incorporating the work of Dr. Doug Tallamy and his Homegrown national park conservation initiative.

Here we talk all about what drains, and fills a dog's emotional cup in this interview with Sarah Owings.

Then, local immigration attorney and founder of the firm Owings MacNorlin Immigration Law firm, Sarah Owings, provides analysis of what this ruling means AND what's to come. Plus, Representative Brenda Lopez Romero shares her reaction to the high court’s ruling. And, finally, there are marches and events happening around the city and state today to commemorate the 155th anniversary of Juneteenth.

After our recent podcasts with Sarah Owings, Dominique and I had another long conversation about cues. Dominique was particularly interested in some comments I made at the end of the last podcast with Sarah about anticipation and the get ready, get set, go way in which cues evolve. We began by talking about how you can either push against some natural tendencies or learn to use them. An example was transforming grass from what is to us a distraction into a reinforcer that we can use effectively. This led us on to a discussion of rope handling.

We’ve come to the last installment of our conversation with Sarah Owings. In the previous episodes we looked at two different ways of thinking about building cues. In one the handler works hard to remove any body language hints. In the other the handler acknowledges that animals are super observant so she lets the cues evolve out of the shaping process. We ended the previous episode with this statement: "Our conversation has brought us to a milestone. We have reached this recognition that our animals are communicating to us and we can allow their behavior to modify ours." So now it’s time to see where these two different models for teaching cues takes us.

Part Three of our conversation with Sarah Owings continues our discussion of cues - how our ideas have changed over time in how we teach them.

This is Part Two of our conversation with Sarah Owings. Sarah is a dog trainer. It may seem odd that in a podcast about all things equine, we are talking about dogs, but there is a lot of value in looking at what people are doing with other species. I learned a long time ago that the way to expand a field is not from within, but by bringing in fresh ideas from outside. So I love going to the Clicker Expo and sitting in on the presentations of other members of the faculty. Sarah is on the Clicker Expo faculty as well. One of the characteristics all the faculty have in common is we are all life long learners. When we aren’t presenting, we are sitting in on each other’s talks. So this year when I gave my talk on “Cues evolve out of the shaping process” Sarah was sitting in the audience. We chatted afterwards about the presentation but there wasn’t enough time to really have the conversation we both wanted. Not at the Expo. We both had other presentations to get to. But not to worry. It just gave us the perfect excuse to record a podcast together. That has two great advantages. The first is Dominique got to join us for the conversation, and the second is you get to listen in. So in this week’s episode Sarah describes for us the process she uses for teaching cues. Sarah says at the beginning what she teaches is evolving. To understand what she means by this, we describe the process for teaching cues that we both encountered when we first started to explore clicker training. For both my horses and Sarah’s dogs we very quickly decided this procedure wasn’t for us. It’s interesting to see the convergence of ideas as we work with two very different species. Sarah then describes her current procedure for introducing cues which leads to many more questions.

Sarah Owings joins us for a conversation about cues, but first we begin with a discussion about progressive education and puzzle solving. Before she became a professional dog trainer Sarah taught kindergarten in a progressive school that valued "brave learners". We talk about what that means for both children and our animal learners.
