"How Can I Train My Reindeer for Santa?"

Jen and Barb Episode 5

Send Us Your Questions

In this festive episode, we share the story of the time we were hired by Santa Claus himself to help with some behavioural modification for one of his reindeer!

This particular reindeer was having feelings about pulling the sleigh  and when you’re part of a global overnight gift-delivery team, that’s kind of a big deal.

With Santa’s permission (he was very generous and fully consented to the case being discussed  he loves education!), we walk you through:

  • What the behaviour looked like
  • How we assessed the reindeer’s emotional state and motivation
  • The training plan we developed
  • And how it all turned out on the big night

It’s a light-hearted, cosy, story-style episode full of seasonal cheer, training insight, and a reminder that even magical animals deserve compassion, patience, and good reinforcement schedules.

Grab a hot chocolate, curl up, and enjoy this one  it’s a Christmas treat. 🎅🦌💫
