あらすじ・解説
This question comes up frequently, probably because I work with autistic families: How do I know if I'm using applied behavior analysis (ABA) for dog training?People ask because they have unpleasant experience with ABA personally or through the autistic community, and they absolutely do not want that to be a part of their relationships with their dogs. It's tough because a lot of the methods that are central to ABA are also central to modern, science-based dog training.
In this episode I talk about what ABA is and what makes it concerning, and I compare that with different styles of dog training. Toward the end of the episode are three things to look for when finding a class, trainer, or program that doesn't rely on ABA methods.Greer works in a few barks and a short whining session because she needed to go outside to poop.
Greer and I work with families virtually anywhere in the world, and I work with families in person in the South Puget Sound. If you'd like to chat about your situation, please send me a message (shannon@slobberedlens.com) and we'll arrange a time to get to know each other a bit. I'll let you know if I think I can help, or if I know someone who can do better.
