Rally people this podcast is for you!!
Hint: I speed it up to 1.25.
We're Baaaacccckkkk!!!! Initially this started as a conversation about Rally...how many teams could really use more reinforcement. Because reinforcement is not just motivation...it's information...important information. Not enough reinforcement and dogs worry. They think they are wrong. They lose confidence. Behaviors and engagement degrade.
But then we realized this is true in many sports. At some point we start doing chains. And then we tend to reward predictably...at the end of chains. And the pieces in between degrade. Yes, reducing reinforcement is important. Especially when prepping for the ring. But increasing reinforcement is often just as important!! Join our conversation about when it's important to INCREASE reinforcement in your training!
