In this episode, Debbie Jacobs (CPDT-KA, RBT) shares key lessons she has learned from treating fear in humans and non-human animals. I love what Debbie has to say about why working with different species forces us to question what we think we know about behavior. We discuss:
- The animal trainers retreat at Lemon's Hope Sanctuary
- How Debbie learned about applied behavior analysis
- Three strands for working with fearful animals
- How to find the starting point with helping an animal feel safe and learn
- Thoughts on the constructional approach
