“After more than 30 years as a national level gymnastics coach, Theresa was determined to find a way to speed up skill acquisition for her athletes while simultaneously decreasing frustration all around. The answer was in the science of learning. The problem was the most beneficial tools defined in the “science” were clunky and difficult for coaches to procedurally implement.
In response, Theresa along with Joan Orr and Karen Pryor created TAGteach, a vehicle that transported the science of learning from the rigid rules of academia to the riotous world of live teaching and coaching. Today, Theresa designs and presents TAGteach workshops and seminars around the world and has adapted the technology in multiple fields including: education, business management, industrial education and safety, military, medical training, corrections, professional sports, and family communication”

Welcome to the 8th episode of The Dog Real Talk!
Today my guest is Alexandra Kurland, amazing horse trainer, with huge experience and deep understanding of science of learning. I can say without doubt, that the world of positive horse training would never be the same if not for the work of Alexandra.
I am grateful that she accepted invitation to this episode to talk about movement, loopy training, negative reinforcement and many more!
"Alexandra Kurland is a graduate of Cornell University where she specialized in animal behavior. She began teaching in the early 1980's. Her area of particular interest is the development of a horse's balance: physical and emotional. Helping horses stay sound throughout a long lifetime is the goal. The result are beautiful horses that feel like heaven to ride.
In 1998 Alexandra launched the rapidly growing field of clicker training for horses with the publication of her first book, Clicker Training for Your Horse.
Alexandra teaches clicker training geared to any horse need or sport—including developing a gentle and companionable riding horse, halter training foals, training advanced performance horses, and reforming difficult and unmanageable horses.
Alexandra travels widely, giving clicker training seminars and presenting at conferences in the US, Canada, the UK and Europe.
She has written The Click That Teaches: A Step–By–Step Guide in Pictures and The Click That Teaches: Riding with the Clicker. She has also produced The Click That Teaches DVD lesson series, an on-line training course, and she is presently at work on new books and videos."

Welcome to the 7th episode of The Dog Real Talk!
My today's guest doesn't need an introduction. Ladies and Gentlemen Ken Ramirez!
I feel very lucky to had a chance to discuss with him conservation training and challenges trainer may face when working with animals in the wild.
From Ken's page:
In October 2014, Ken Ramirez began his role as Executive Vice-President and Chief Training Officer of Karen Pryor Clicker Training where he helps oversee the vision, development and implementation of training education programs for the organization. This role aligns with Ken's philosophy of helping to bring positive reinforcement training to all corners of the animal training world.
Ken previously served as the Executive Vice-President of animal care and animal training at Chicago's Shedd Aquarium, where he developed and supervised animal care and animal health programs, staff training and development as well as public presentation programs for the entire animal collection of more than 32,000 animals. He worked at Shedd for nearly 26 years.
A 40+ year veteran of animal care and training, Ramirez is a biologist and animal behaviorist who served nine years at Marineworld of Texas. He also was a trainer and coordinator at Ocean Safari in South Padre Island, Texas, as well as acting as a consultant to many zoo and aquarium programs throughout the world. He began his training career working with guide dogs for the visually impaired and has maintained a close affiliation to pet training throughout his career. He hosted two successful seasons of the pet training television series Talk to the Animals that compared pet training to the important work done with training and caring for animals in zoological facilities. He has also recently worked closely with several search and rescue dog organizations, service dog groups, as well as with bomb and narcotic dogs.
Since 2005, Ken has brought his experience as a trainer of many cognitive projects with marine mammals and primates to the dog arena. Most notable has been his work with modifier cues, adduction, matching to sample, mimicry, and counting. The latter two projects: teaching dogs to mimic or imitate other dogs; and to learn the concept of counting are in the process of being prepared for scientific publication. Both of these projects have documented cognitive abilities in dogs that have not been previously well documented or understood.
Ramirez has been active in several professional organizations, including the International Marine Animal Trainer’s Association (IMATA), of which he is a past president. Ken has been actively involved in the creation of a certification process for animal trainers in zoological settings. He has been on the faculty of Karen Pryor’s Clicker Expos since 2005.
Ramirez has written for numerous scientific publications and authored countless popular articles. He authored the book ANIMAL TRAINING: Successful Animal Management through Positive Reinforcement, published in 1999. He also teaches a graduate course on animal training at Western Illinois University.

In this episode my guest is wonderful Corey L. Robertson whom I have met at Florida Institute of Technology ABA Program, where he was my co-instructor.
From his website (make sure you visit it www.behaviorguy.com)
"I worked as an Exceptional Student Education teacher with Orange County Public Schools for four years, teaching elementary and middle school students with varying exceptionalities including emotional difficulties, specific learning disabilities, and mild retardation.
In 2002, I began working for Intervention Services, Inc. providing behavior analysis services to typically developed children exhibiting problem behaviors. This consisted of working with parents and teachers to develop and implement effective behavior plans in the settings in which these behaviors occurred. In 2003, I was certified as a Board Certified Associate Behavior Analyst (BCABA).
In 2004, I went to work for another agency, Interventions Unlimited, Inc., for the opportunity to work with children and young adults with autism and other developmental delays. A year later, an opportunity to work with one of my FIT professors and mentor led me to Quest, Inc, a company that provides various services to adults and children with disabilities.
I worked for Quest from 2005-2009, providing supervision for three BCaBAs, and overseeing behavior plans and skill acquisition programs for four group homes, a vocational center, and clients receiving supported living services in the community.
Currently, I am a lead co-instructor for Florida Tech's professional development program in ABA, and also provide supervision privately for those pursuing certification.
In 2007, I became certified as a Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA). I am currently a member of the Association for Behavior Analysis International, The Association for Professional Behavior Analysts, and serve on the executive committee for the Florida Association for Behavior Analysis."

Second episode of The Dog Real Talk is here!
My name is Agnieszka Janarek and I am super proud to invite you to a wonderful conversation with superb Hannah Branigan. I am a huge fun of Hannah's work. She is just amazing and her podcast Drinking From The Toilet was one of the biggest inspiration to do The Dog Real Talk!
In this episode we talked about schedules of reinforcement and how to apply them in real life. Listen to learn more!
From Hannah's website
"With the belief that everyone (dogs and humans alike) learn best in an environment free of criticism, Hannah breaks down complex skills into bite-sized, accessible pieces, and develops practical techniques that leave her students with a sense of achievement and success. She is on a mission to make training effective + enjoyable for dogs and their handlers, which means optimizing positive reinforcement techniques across species. She is fascinated by behavior and learning, and passionate about bringing innovative, science-based solutions to the dog/human learning space. Hannah has a background in both human sports and biology. Now she applies that knowledge and experience to the world of animal training and canine competitive sports. She enjoys training and competing with her own dogs in a variety of sports, and has titled her dogs in Obedience, Agility, Conformation, IPO (Schutzhund), and Rally. Her competition obedience DVDs, Obedience FUNdamentals and Beyond FUNdamentals, have received rave reviews from trainers all over the world, and her students have earned advanced titles and in multiple countries. While primarily interested in the training process, she finds the high scores, prestigious awards, and national rankings she has earned to be very reinforcing. Hannah is the host of the popular dog training podcast, Drinking from the Toilet, which focuses on the (often inconvenient) intersection between positive reinforcement philosophy and reality."
