‪New blog post exploring the meaning of "fallout," both as Murray Sidman characterized it and how it's used in the animal training community.

There may even be "fallout" from positive reinforcement training, but take a read before you come at me!

I told this story on someone's FB feed and got the idea to tell it here. Clara was a feral puppy, except that I made it into her life before the socialization window closed. Nobody else really did. I'd take her in the car when I took Summer and Zani to a doggie day care a couple days a week.

You know that people are going to get Christmas puppies, right? Sometimes it's a good idea; sometimes it's not. But this book will help start them off on the right foot.

Hey behavior science trainer friends. @kikiyablon.bsky.social ,
@trainingmatters.bsky.social , @fearfuldogs.bsky.social and more.
Kiki, you were talking about setting up a feed for behavior analysis/training here.

There is a behavioral science feed, but I don't think it's a good match. 1/2

I've been thinkin' about extinction—operant extinction in behavior science, that is. Helping our dogs through necessary extinction periods is a kindness.
