Drinking From the Toilet: Real dogs, Real training

In this episode, we discuss what is Constructional Aggression Treatment, what makes it constructional, how this approach is different from other aggression treatment protocols, how CAT deals with the function of aggressive behavior, some common misconceptions trainers may have about CAT, changing emotional behaviors by changing contingencies, how CAT makes use of clicker training principles, and making ethical choices in training, particularly in the use of negative reinforcement.
