Today’s Topic: An Exploration of “States” and their Impact on Animal Behavior Trainers often hypothesize based on observation and our own human experience that a tired, hungry, or sick animal may be more or less likely to participate in a training session. Behavior problems are also often attributed to certain states such as reproductive hormone amplification. This week’s livestream will take a look into the evidence being explored in neuroscience regarding states and behavior and how to relate this to a behaviorist’s approach to animal training. Join me live most every Monday at 11:00 AM Central time for another YOU be the Behavior Consultant. These are interactive events and super fun I might add 😉 with video clips!
