unique reinforcers
No treats? No problem! There are many other reinforcers besides food that can be leveraged in a training session. In fact, you may find some of these non-food reinforcers right under your nose (or your feet)!
In this video, KPA CTP Kat Heckert uses an activity that her dog loves, chasing leaves, as a reinforcer. As you will see in the video, not only is chasing leaves a powerful reinforcer for this leaf-loving dog, but it also adds mental and physical activity to his routine!
