This badge signifies the completion of the course How Am I Doing? Reflecting on Your Own Evolving Animal Training Journey.

Accelerate your evolution from theory to mastery with this critical self-assessment for the progressive animal trainer. If you are already familiar with many of the principles of the Constructional Approach but want to ensure you are applying them effectively, this course guides you through a practical evaluation of your daily work. We explore some useful resources designed to help you categorize your skills, from Exploring to Integrating to Fluent, across essential domains like goal setting, nonlinear contingency analysis, and genuine assent. Learn to identify if you are truly building repertoires or still relying on reduction, and verify if your functional assessments are capturing the complete contingency matrix rather than defaulting to simple linear models. By using these specific markers to audit your performance, you can celebrate your current fluency and create a clear roadmap for your next breakthrough in animal welfare and behavior management.
