Podcast Episode 40: The Process of Teaching Dogs
In this episode, we discuss the different phases of teaching dogs new skills. We review acquisition, fluency, discrimination, generalization and maintenance. Further, we review two often ignored aspects of the learning process. First, the difference between observable progress and internal progress. Second, the learning law of readiness, first documented by Edward Thorndike in 1910.
