My reminder to you…every moment of every day is a teaching and learning opportunity for you and your pet. Reinforcers are all around. They are that chance to go outside, to play ball, to clip on a leash, to greet a human, to chew or sniff. They are powerful tools in your behavior change toolbox because every time that you pair one of those valued life experiences with a behavior, you are adding value to that behavior…and you are giving your pet reason to do that behavior again, and again.

Parents, YOU Are ALWAYS Teaching
Teaching happens whether we intend it or not. Our interactions cause others to learn positive AND negative associations with situations, and with us.
