| If your serious about training, this is for you, July 7, 2009 |
| Reviewer: Crystal Saling |
| I really enjoyed a 'personal audience' with Ted Turner in my living room. Dog trainers don't get a lot of direct influence from zoos and aquariums- this bridged that gap excellently. Make sure you block out a whole day to watch this and take notes as you go, because you will need them. One of my aha moments was scalloping- this has changed the way I train some behaviors to my clients. |

| Lots of Science behind Behavior, March 28, 2007 |
| Reviewer: Tami Hawes |
You are getting a lot of information for your 5 hours of viewing. What this doesn't give you and what is really needed is a web link to where you can get a copy of the notes from this seminar. This was originally taped in 1996 and was a weekend seminar with Patty Ruzzo and Leslie Nelson also presenting.
If you're really into the science of behavior then Ted will clearly outline all the reasons why things work and don't work. He backs up examples with real life experiences from working with a variety of animals and the mistakes that he has made in the past.
A lot of what Ted was talking about in 1996 has since been used very effectively by a lot of dog trainers in developing a variety of programs. If you've ever wondered where some of the information came from, here's a good starting point for finding it.
One thing that hasn't continued since this seminar was the thought of starting your dog out as a puppy on a variable rate of reinforcement and rewards while teaching behaviors. Why did this get lost? I could imagine that a lot of owners would have less ring issues if they had followed Ted's suggestion in this. This whole section really needs more than I can give you here.
I also like how Ted suggested that you should be training your dog a variety of behaviors. Not just teaching for the obedience ring, but including tracking and agility and play in their repetoire of trained behaviors.
Worth the time and money. Yes, there are some video/audio issues from the original recording but not bad for the technology ten years ago. |
