The Constructional Approach to Animal Welfare and Training with Maasa Nishimuta and Sean Will
Whoa baby, y'all, this is another incredible interview that gives you a whole 'nother paradigm to the think about in animal training. Let's blow the lid off of the way we think of operant conditioning and dive deep with Maasa Nishimuta and Sean Will of CAAWT, or the Constructional Approach to Animal Welfare and Training. This conversation will have you rethinking the four quadrants, what the consequence(s) of your animal's behavior might be, and how you think about problem behavior.

Keeping the Science in Animal Care with Barbara Heidenreich
Why does science in animal care matter? My bestie Barbara Heidenreich and I sit down - this time in person - for a conversation about what it actually means to be scientific in animal care and behavior. And why that's important. We talk about natural behavior, species differences, the constructional approach, and so much more.
Resources for the Avian Behavior Lab (it's growing, people! We have big things on the horizon!) can be found on the link.
You can check out Barbara's Animal Training Fundamentals Program, of which I am a proud member and affiliate, also here.
