Control Is An Illusion Pt. 2 – Applying Skills & Deepening Understanding

Now that you’ve learned to reframe the concept of impulse control in terms of stimulus control, and have practiced some core skills with your dogs, it’s time to fade-in more complex environmental stimuli and challenges.

The goal of this class will be to provide graduates of Pt. 1 with the opportunity to deepen their understanding of stimulus control and errorless teaching. Curriculum will be centered around the development of independent projects, but participants may also opt. to use their coaching time to complete or expand upon exercises from Pt. 1 as well, such as:

• Three Act Training Structure with Brave Learning Self-Review
• Bread-crumb Trail Teaching Progressions
• Clarifying Contexts: When to Offer Behavior and When to Wait for Cues
• Zen Bowl Games
• Advanced Shopping
• Joyous “Wait There” Applied to Real Life
• Fade in Protocol

This class will have a lot less reading and step by step guidelines, and a lot more doing it for yourselves! Come prepared to set some actionable goals, to design your own training plans, and to dive headfirst into the cycle of performance—feedback—revision.

Let the brave learning begin!

NOTE: The prerequisite for Pt. 2 is Control Is An Illusion Pt. 1–JUNE 2019 GROUP. Auditors of Pt. 1 JUNE GROUP are welcome to join if you were able to keep up with the material, and feel like you and you dogs are ready for increased challenges.

This course is a self-study auditors only!

We are very much looking forward to sharing this material with you all!

Approaching parenting and family life from an R + perspective is not a given in our culture and often not a part of the regular discussion of the topics.

In this course we’d like to share with you how you can approach your life as a parent and part of a family from this methodology. We’ll look into how you can be proactive rather than reactive, setting both yourself and your child up for success.

We’ll discuss how you can think about what skills to teach and how.

We’ll touch on the theory behind working with positive reinforcement and introduce the basis of TAGteach–Teaching with Acoustical Guidance. But this course is mostly based on our personal experiences with our own families and discussions we’ve had in different settings with other caregivers, teachers and coaches.

This course will cover topics such as:

• Skills for everyday life, such as brushing teeth, going shopping.
• Skills for care, such as taking medication and going to the dentist.
• Discussions regarding reinforcers.
• Discussions regarding children of different ages.
• Discussions regarding helping your child with an R + approach out in the world

This course is for you if you are in a caregiving position or in a situation where you deal with kids and families on a regular basis through work or hobbies

This course is dedicated to getting the highest level of fluency in our behaviors. We work with the learner offering the behavior off cue, and perfecting it till we have the behaviors freakishly fluent. We use benchmarking schedules to track the progress, and you will learn how to take your training to the next level with this tool.

In this course we will work with breaking down all the things you would like your learner to able to do, into single behaviors. We focus on developing multiple of the skills you and your learner need, to train exactly what you dream off.

We do this by shaping and capturing behaviors, and we work with them off cue, to make sure we get the exact behavior.

Pocket it! This course focus will be working without treats in hand and helping as little as possible, without leaving your animal frusrated.

We give the learner the highest rage of choice we can, and teach the learner to actively take part in the training.

This will be part 1, where you get introduced to all of the behaviors, and then select 1 to work with from every box.  In vol. 2, we will work more on fluency and adding variations to the behaviors.

For dogs, cats, parrots, and so on.
Whether you share your life with a pet dog, parrot, cat, elephant or ladybug, the fundamentals of behavior analysis apply to them.

This course is specifically for owners who have a problem with their pet’s behavior.

For several weeks, you will learn to analyze and understand your pet’s behavior, but also to modify it effectively, while always respecting his well-being.

Premium participants: The homework offered each week during this course will allow you to analyze and modify your pet’s behavior “in real time”. So, to get the most out of these 6 weeks, you are advised to perform the exercises as soon as they are published.

Although all behaviors can be analyzed through functional assessment, due to their specificities, outdoor reactivity/aggression/phobia and separation anxiety will not be covered during this course (aggression indoors may be seen during this course).
