This episode Dr. Susan Friedman, Behavior Works, provides some great learning and insights into a multitude of current topics surrounding the science of behavior change.  Dr. Friedman starts with discussing the Hierarchy of Behavior Change Procedures; what it is, how we can view it to provide optimal welfare to animals, and also the importance of antecedent arrangement and the environment to behavior change.  She also breaks down what it means and looks like in practice when we strive for most positive, least intrusive, effective intervention.  Dr. Friedman then gives a summary on the free operant approach to enrichment.  She finishes the discussion by diving into the concept of control by honoring the no and shaping the yes.   Stay tuned in for Dr. Friedman's very unique "Training Tale" about plant learning.  For questions or suggestions about the podcast email ⁠abc@theabma.org⁠ and to contact Dr. Friedman email ⁠ sgf@behaviorworks.org For more information and to register for the ABMA virtual courses visit this link: https://www.theabma.org/behavior-management-coursesTo complete the podcast feedback survey visit this link: https://lp.constantcontactpages.com/sv/Rspt0Bk/abcpodcast2025Let's talk some training and banter about behavior! 5:10 Introduction to Dr. Susan Friedman and Behavior Works19:25 Hierarchy of Behavior Change Procedures27:00 Most Positive, Least Intrusive, Effective Intervention 36:20 The importance of antecedent arrangement and the environment on behavior 48:05 Free Operant approach to enrichment 1:07:00 Honor the No, Shape the Yes

This is Part 5 of a five part series with Dr. Susan Friedman. Susan is a professor emeritus in the Department of Psychology at Utah State University. She is well known around the world for her very popular on-line course: How Behavior Works: Living & Learning With Animals). She has co-authored chapters on behavior change in five veterinary texts, and her popular articles have been translated into 17 languages. She shares many of those articles on her web site: behavior works.org It's a great resource for all of us who want to learn more about the natural science of behavior. Susan is a member of the clicker expo faculty. Her presentations at the March Clicker Expo prompted this conversation on schedules of reinforcement. In Part 1 Susan reviewed with us the basics of fixed and variable schedules. She ended with a question about how you get behavior to vary when you are using a continuous reinforcement schedule. We carried that question over into Part 2. In Part 2 we took a deeper dive into continuous reinforcement schedules. We considered how you get behavior to vary without using a variable reinforcement schedule. Susan talked about a moving away from transactional training to training with assent. Part 3 Susan helped us to understand schedules of co-variation. She defined conjugate and synchronous schedules and gave some very practical examples, especially as it relates to husbandry procedures that may involve some discomfort. Again, she discussed what assent looks like and what it means when an animal says no. What conditions must be present for a conjugate schedule to begin and what conditions mean that the training should stop? Part 4 was very much about working in teams. Especially when you are working on husbandry procedures that the animal may not be comfortable with, you need to notice and respond appropriately to the subtle “no answers” an animal presents. When one person is in charge of feeding and the other is handling the procedure, effective communication needs to be there. At the Cheyenne Mountain zoo where Susan does a great deal of consulting work, the goal of each training session is not getting the procedure done. It is having a willing animal for the next session. She talked about the difference between empathy and compassion, and somehow that took us to parenting styles and what to do when a baby cries. Now in Part 5 of this conversation we'll be talking about non-linear analysis. Susan talks about the shift in focus from proximal to distant antecedents. She defines what this means and shares several stories that really help us to understand these concepts. When you're faced with unwanted behavior an empowering question is to ask: if he did what was wanted, what would this individual be giving up? In other words what other contingencies are reinforcing (or perhaps not reinforcing) the behavior such that, from the handler's perspective, an unwanted behavior emerges. If we could make a change in these other contingencies, we might not have to deal with this unwanted behavior. Susan's stories make it very clear what this means and how to go about designing behavior change plans that take the distant antecedents into account. My favorite example involves the penguins at the Cheyenne Mountain Zoo.

This week we are continuing to explore what changes in the relationship that established when active participation is encouraged. Active participation very much means that it is safe for our animals to say “no”. We begin with a discussion of what a “no” really represents. We consider what it means for our animals to have a lifestyle of choice - an expression that comes from Dr. Susan Friedman. We discuss the use of multiple marker signals, treaties clicks, keep going signals, and treating without clicking. And we celebrate the wonderful clicker expo training community that is part of Karen Pryor's legacy.

This episode is for you if you identify as a perfectionist. Simply talking with Aga, the short version for Agnieszka about the concept of errorless learning has given me another way to look at perfectionism and how it can (often but not always) be unhelpful.Aga talks about training behaviors to fluency which is different from perfection, and about the benefits of playing by someone else's rules now and then, just to get you out of your comfort zone.She will have you completely rethink the idea of "just one more repetition" and "ending on a win".Not just that. What about extinction and frustration? Do we need frustration or can we skip it?Aga also blew my mind by giving me a way of looking at resilience completely differently. What if resilience, the ability to bounce back, isn't an innate trait? What if it simply amounts to having a big enough skillset to be able to handle errors? And since skills can be taught, what if you could teach resilience? Errorlessly? With minimal frustration?How does this apply to humans?How does she apply it in her personal life and her business?And of course, we chat about Agnieszka's new book, the Animal Trainer's Comprehensive Handbook.Listen to this episode multiple times.

Du liebst deine Katze über alles, aber manches Verhalten geht dir so richtig auf den Keks? Doch wie kannst du lästiges Verhalten bei deiner Katze positiv und respektvoll verändern? Diese Frage beantworte ich in der heutigen Episode, wo ich dir 6 Wege aufzeige, die du gehen kannst, um das Verhalten deiner Katze effektiv und positiv zu ändern. Dabei gehe ich auf das Modell “The Hierarchy of Behavior-Change Procedures” von Dr. Susan Friedman ein, dass uns 6 mächtige Stellschrauben an die Hand gibt, um die Beziehung zu deiner Katze zu vertiefen und ihr Verhalten sanft zu verbessern. Außerdem gebe ich dir anschauliche Beispiele und Ideen mit, wie du die einzelnen Wege mit deiner Katze gehen kannst, um auf positive Art ihr Verhalten zu verändern. Diese Episode ist vollgepackt mit ganz viel Wissen und Impulsen. In den Shownotes findest du weiterführendes Material. Heute erfährst du… - die Voraussetzung, um das Verhalten deiner Katze ändern zu können - wie Verhalten und Umgebung zusammenhängen und wie du die Umgebung deiner Katze anpassen kannst, um ihr Verhalten positiv zu beeinflussen - was positive Verstärkung bedeutet und wie du sie effektiv einsetzen kannst, einschließlich Techniken wie Clickertraining und andere Marker - den Unterschied zwischen positiver und negativer Belohnung und warum dies nichts mit Emotionen zu tun hat - wo negative Belohnung im Katzentraining sinnvoll eingesetzt werden kann und warum es wichtig ist, sie korrekt anzuwenden - warum Bestrafungen selten die beste Lösung sind und wie sie das zukünftige Verhalten deiner Katze beeinflussen können - wie wir das erwähnte Modell auch auf uns Menschen anwenden können “Deine Katze wird das wiederholen, was sich für sie lohnt” (Zitat aus der Folge) Wenn du bei Exit 4,5, oder 6 bist und dich nicht so wohl damit fühlst, dann schreib mir, ich habe momentan noch Plätze bei meinem Mentoring-Program [“Deep Dive”](https://clickercat.ch/deep-dive/) .

Some individuals, such as Ripple's Susan Friedman at Ripple, voice their optimism for the institutional adoption of cryptocurrencies and believe that constructive dialogue about meaningful regulation can benefit the industry. Stephen Chip, expressed concern over the White House's report that blasted digital assets and the government's opposition to business growth and innovation. In addition to the debate over regulation, there were other noteworthy events in the industry, such as the availability of XRP options on a major exchange and Taiwan's announcement to regulate the crypto industry. There were also concerns raised over Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDCs) and their potential impact on individual control and privacy, with some individuals proposing a ban on CBDCs. *SUPPORT ON THE CHAIN* JOIN THE CHANNEL https://otc.one/join OTC MERCH https://onthechain.shop BUY US A COFFEE https://otc.one/buy-us-a-coffee Support ON THE CHAIN https://otc.one/support -------------- *ON THE CHAIN* SUBSCRIBE TO THE OTC PODCAST: https://otc.one/podcast Subscribe to our other Youtube Channel: https://otc.one/onthechain On The Web: https://onthechain.io Follow OTC on Twitter: https://otc.one/otc Join On The Chain Community on Twitter https://twitter.com/i/communities/1599435678995062788 Join our FREE Telegram Roundtable channel: https://t.me/onthechain_roundtable -------------- *JEFF* Follow Jeff on Twitter: https://otc.one/jeff -------------- *CHIP* Follow Chip on Twitter: https://otc.one/chip Listen to Chip's music http://nojoyyet.com​ -------------- *DISCLAIMER:* _All opinions expressed by content contributors that appear on OTC are solely expressing their opinions and do not reflect the opinions of OTC, its affiliates, or sponsors.

Incompatible behaviour & positive punishment is a topic from a quote that we posted on our instagram some months back. The quote was from Dr. Susan Friedman and it says. "The key question is not, how do I stop this problem behaviour? Rather, the question is, what do I want the animal to do instead, then teach it." It's a good quote with plenty of merit. There are many who have taken it and have inferred that in order to do this justice, it can only be by way of teaching incompatible behaviours so the dog cannot perform the old behaviour. We feel that incompatible behaviour is certainly a consideration, however it's limiting by not addressing punishment. In this episode we discussed the ramifications of just this.

In the same year, she was fortunate enough to attend a parrot conference and learn about applied behaviour analysis and learning theory from the likes of Dr Susan Friedman, Nic Bishop, and Jim McKendry. That was all it took to become hooked! In 2013, while completing her Certificate 4 in Companion Animal Services through the Delta Institute in Australia, she took the plunge and started a companion animal training business - Treat. Play. Love. This has been Belinda's full-time job since 2016, when she left vet nursing for good.  Through her business, Belinda works with families and their pet dogs, cats, and parrots. She especially enjoys showing people just how fun training can be with moden, reward-based training methods.

After humble beginnings with Bob Bailey's chicken camps, Scotti Harvey has spent the last 15 years as a committed educator of applied animal behavior and learning science. Scotti is a graduate of the Karen Pryor Academy, a Certified Separation Anxiety Trainer, a Puppy Start Right Instructor and Fear Free Trainer, a City and Guilds Scent Detection Dog Handler, UKCSD Scent Instructor and the founder of the animal training and consulting service, Why Runamuck. Scotti's expertise is in the impact of early-life learning on later-life behavior. She has studied with trainers and behaviorists like Terry Ryan, Ken Ramirez, Susan Friedman, and Steve Martin, and she has attended a variety of national and international workshops and courses, like the University of Edinburgh's Animal Welfare Course, Dr. Susan Friedman's Learning and Living With Animals, the Behavior Adjustment Training Instructor's Course, the NEI's Contemporary Animal Training and Management program, Ken Ramirez's Advanced Animal Training, and Marie Fogelquist's Polar Bear Training at Orsa Bjornpark.  In 2014, Scotti participated in a collaborative training project between KPA and Guide Dogs for the Blind that sought new and innovative ways to incorporate positive training protocols into their puppy-raising curriculum. Scotti herself is a longtime breeder of Icelandic sheepdogs, and she has studied and observed 13 litters of puppies, learning from them while exploring avenues to mitigate behavioral issues through carefully crafted and deconstructed early-life experiences.  Scotti spends most of her professional life helping canine co-habitators navigate the hiccups and tricky bits of living alongside another species, as well as collaborating with canine caregivers—breeders, fosters, shelter workers, and veterinarians—to identify ways to improve puppy rearing strategies. She is currently writing a book on those early socialization strategies and the deconstruction of puppy exposures.

"Effectiveness is not enough" is something I say a lot (quoting Dr. Susan Friedman), and I mean it. R+ (positive reinforcement) is a VERY powerful and effective way to teach our horses behaviors we would like them to do and know, but it's not inherently more ethical or "morally sound" way of training. I explain why in this episode and also share some of the ways I modify my training to focus on ethical training practices. ✦ www.TheWillingequine.com✦ Instagram.com/TheWillingEquine ✦ YouTube.com/TheWillingEquine ✦ Facebook.com/TheWillingEquine ✦ --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/thewillingequine/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/thewillingequine/support
