This badge signifies completion of the course Addressing the Counter Conditioning Conundrum
If you have learned that walking by the enclosure and tossing treats or offering food paired with the aversive stimulus are examples of counter conditioning than you will really enjoy this live-stream! We dive deep into both of these examples and how trainers typically apply these procedures to demonstrate what is really going on and why they usually do not meet the definition of counter conditioning. We also discuss what might be some procedures we can apply to best meet our goals of addressing fear responses and/or aggressive behavior in a way that optimizes animal welfare
