S2 Barn Bonus 5 - Mastering Shaping in Training
In this episode, we delve into the fascinating technique of shaping in animal behaviour and training. Shaping, also known as successive approximation, is a method where small, incremental steps are reinforced to guide an animal toward a desired behaviour. We break down how shaping works, from rewarding initial attempts to refining a behaviour until it meets the training goal.
Throughout the episode, we explore real-world examples of shaping across various species, from dogs learning to sit on command to horses mastering complex tasks. We also discuss the importance of timing, consistency, and patience, along with the common challenges trainers may face when using this technique.
Whether you’re an experienced trainer or just starting out, this episode is packed with practical tips and insights to help you incorporate shaping into your training toolkit.
