ClickerExpo

This month’s podcast, an excerpt from ClickerExpo 2011 in Lexington, Kentucky, addresses the topic of generalization. In order for a dog to understand that a certain cue means the same thing all of the time, we must teach the cue in different environments. But does the process need to be repeated for every environment? Listen as Ken Ramirez, Julie Shaw, Michele Pouliot and Jesus Rosales-Ruiz offer their thoughts on this popular topic!

At the most recent ClickerExpo, I met two new Certified Training Partners (CTP), graduates of Karen Pryor Academy’s (KPA) flagship Dog Trainer Program. They were Andre Yeu, who runs a dog training school in Toronto, and one of his teachers, Mirkka Koivusalo, from Finland. Soon after that I was scheduled to give a talk in Canada, at the University of Guelph. I e-mailed Andre and asked if after my university gig I could come to Toronto, visit his school, and meet some other KPA graduates from the area. Andre said that would be great!
