And Now, A Little Training Humor...

Laughter is contagious. It's disarming and it's healthy. If we can look in the mirror and laugh but love- that is if we can take ourselves seriously but not too seriously then magical things happen. The unapproachable is suddenly approachable. The unspeakable, may be speakable. Sometimes, we see things in an entirely new perspective. Common perspective can be found. Hey, we don't have much in common but we BOTH thought that was funny! That's something to start with anyway.

Online Discussion with Karen Pryor: Clicker Training in the Shelter Environment

KPCT — Thu, 01 Aug 2002 00:00:00 -0500

This discussion took place via Yahoo. People joined the Karen Pryor online Yahoo Group ahead of time or during the day, and could read the posts as e-mail or at the Yahoo Group site. Over 300 people participated.

At the end of the day we closed the site, planning to keep it available as a read-only archive. We ran into trouble with that, but luckily our webmaster, Greg Parsons, had maintained a file of all the e-mails as they arrived. So, working from that file, I've been able to prepare an abridged text version of the day's discussion. I removed advertisements, headers and footers, and off-topic letters. I also removed a few questions by accident; I hope the content of the answers will make the questions clear. Please accept my apologies for any annoying or serious omissions or errors that may have occurred during this process. Whatever got left out is entirely my fault.
