Show Notes

In this episode, we discuss a question from one of my favorite listeners about a stereotypic/compulsive tail chasing behavior in her dog, brainstorming steps one might take when unpacking a stereotypic (I'm practicing my language!) behavior problem, taking a baseline to help with staying objective about the training, identifying and testing possible variables that might be part of the antecedent, considerations when selecting a goal or replacement behavior, and layering in relevant pieces of the antecedent or trigger while maintaining a clean loop. We also get a little bit deep pondering on how much power really have to influence behavior, even ones we'd never thought we could affect.
