Clicker training

For my clicker training project I used my friends cat Reggie, who is a 4 year old Domestic Short Hair, neutered male. Throughout the training, I didn't do a lot of sessions outside for new learning techniques due to the fact that Reggie tends to get distracted especially from other people and animals. It also seemed that smaller, quieter places, like inside the barn, allowed Reggie to focus easier on my cues. Food as well as praise tends to be a huge motivator for Reggie so changing his rewards sometimes allowed him to stay focused on the task at hand. The issue with this was that some weeks he would be doing really well learning the commands and techniques but the next week he refused to learn or do anything. Reggie and I did the clicker training for about 5 weeks. In the beginning, we were training about 4 days a week and maybe 30 minutes a day. As the training continued we changed the sessions to 3 days a week, but for 20-30 minutes a day. The primary reinforcers that I used with him was 9 Lives soft cat…

I never thought that reading a book on reinforcement would be so handy. “Don’t Shoot The Dog! The New Art of Teaching and Training” by Karen Pryor was the book that opened my eyes to new was of reinforcement. I in no way truly understood what reinforcement was and how powerful it truly is. The book had six rather lengthy chapters “Reinforcement: better than rewards”, “Shaping: developing super performance without strain or pain”, “Stimulus control: cooperation without coercion”, “Untraining:…

Outline Issue: Animal training methods and their effectiveness in terms of safety and success in producing desired outcomes. Thesis: Positive reinforcement training (PRT) is more effective in animal training than other traditional methods of training as it promotes obedience through a trusting relationship, reduces stress on the animal, and benefits the well-being and safety of both animal and trainer.

In addition, investing in “increased capacity at community colleges to help meet future skill demands will prove less effective if rushed” (Neumark 3), this suggests that technical education programs must be built up over time. The primary conclusion in terms of education is that the U.S. economy will generate demand for highly-educated works, which as a result can be addressed by creating more educational programs. Thus, the United States does not seem to be in peril of a workforce gap. The…

STRENGTHS I was in the Army so I have a lot of skills that I feel couldn 't get anywhere else like feeling that I am late if I am no 15 min earlier than I am supposed to be. I also got training for being a construction mechanic which gives me a basic knowledge in mechanics. I feel that I have a lot of patients not just to deal with my children but also other factors in life. I think this has to do with me being a laid-back kind of person. I am very proud to have gone through basic training…

workers working by July. When the Operations Supervisor checked in with him in May, he assured her everything would be prepared in time. That led him to double check his progress that revealed that he was nowhere near prepared. He realized that there was missing paperwork, no drug tests completed, and orientation books were also missing pages. The worst part of it all was that Carl never reserved the training room and now, it was scheduled for the entire month of June. There…
