Despite being sick, last weekend I went to the Great Minds - The Art and Science of Animal Training lecture at the University of North Texas. Traveling sick was no fun, but the lecture, just like last year was really good. I saw Kay Laurence, a fabulous dog training from England, Bob Bailey, world famous multi species animal trainer, Ken Ramirez, awesome multi species animal trainer from Shedd Aquarium, Steve Martin, a multi species animal trainer who does a lot of work with birds, Alexandra Kurland, well known horse clicker trainer. It was great and as usual I had several eye opening moments. It was cool. My favorite quote that I brought home was from Dr. Jesus Rosales Ruiz, the head of the UNT behavior department who said "Whoever is complaining about the behavior is probably the one maintaining it." This is such a brilliant quote since it's so true that behavior has to be reinforced to be maintained, and it's usually the person who wants the behavior to go away that is the one reinforcing. Very true in dog training!
