Addressing Resistance to Change

This badge signifies completion of the course Addressing Resistance to Change

Resistance to change is nothing new. We have seen valid scientific discoveries take hundreds of years to finally be accepted. In this course we tackle those barriers animal trainers may face when trying to implement beneficial change. Using the behaviorists lens we explore the contingencies that hinder progression in the animal training industry and ideas on how to address them. Our history has shown that it is possible to generate change. The movement away from dominance-based training for dogs, horses, and parrots is evidence of what can be done. This course provides tools to support change so that animal trainers can continue the journey of improved welfare for our learners.
