LIVE FROM THE RANCH

Training Across Species and Exploring the Use of the LRS

EPISODE 38: January 7, 2021

In this episode, Ken Ramirez, Susan G. Friedman, Ph.D., and Steve Martin explored the connection of training across species, the use of the LRS (Least Reinforcing Scenario), zoo consulting, and how to teach teeth brushing. We were treated to two dynamic training sessions, one showcasing a natural behavior with a free-flight fish eagle and another focusing on rear-paw targeting with a dog.
