Are you ready for the truth?
You’ve heard all about positive and negative reinforcers and punishers, stimulus discrimination, SDs, S deltas, teasing, back chaining, dominance and submission. Now, you’re a bit confused as how and when to use one or the other. On top of all that, you feel that your dog training, though efficient, is a bit faceless. You want to be a good trainer and have a good dog, but you also want to show your face, be yourself, do it your way.
Is this possible? Are science and affection compatible in dog training? Dr. Abrantes’ new seminar sorts it out for you. Being a biologist with a vast practical experience with animals, he explains the topics independently of political correctness, commercial interests, or fashion trends.
This is a no-nonsense seminar and your chance to discover the naked truth about the methods and gizmos you hear about. Whether your goal is to be a good and responsible dog owner, a proficient dog trainer, a disciplined learning theory student, or to develop your own qualified and non-opinionated view on modern dog training with all its gizmos and trends.
