A Christmas Surprise

It’s funny, but I’m not that interested in Christmas this year. I tell myself I’ve been travelling, I’m working, there’s no time, and that’s true; but still.

A clicker trainer asked me: can a punisher also be a reinforcer? For example, Shutzhund working dogs take stick hits and come back fighting for more.

I have developed a deep abiding love for my laptop.

And WHAT are you doing running around loose?
This is my neighbor Lois'es dog, I bet. Never off a leash in her six years of life. Uhoh.

I'm getting ready for a ten-day trip to St. Louis and Denver, to teach and talk about modern operant training
