From one reward to the next

The intricate details of what actually goes on in our training are super fascinating and well worth a closer look. And when we look closer, we see ABC contingencies everywhere – contingencies that, if we tend to them carefully, make learning (and training) more enjoyable and at the same time more effective.

This minute eye for details within contingencies is what Eva and Emelie specialized in as agility trainers back in the day (see Agility Right From The Start). In 2011 they presented an overview of the topic “From One Reward To The Next” at Clicker Expo (a classic not currently available in recorded form – it’s under production and will come, though), and the theme of seamless flow within the details of the training loop is everpresent in all their work.

Eva frequently teaches seminars and workshops on the topics of “Seamless training sessions from one reward to the next” – which maybe isn’t so much “a topic” as it is a keen eye for details and a skillset for how to help behavior flow with more ease and fewer gaps and bumps – both within tightly structured R+ training sessions and at all other times!
