In this class, we will be looking at two primary behavior-conditioning styles: classical conditioning and operant conditioning. These types of conditioning sets are extremely important when learning how dogs think, communicate, and process the world around them. Students will learn by examining practical, everyday situations through which they may see either conditioning set applied. Interactions with the teachers and each other will be through exciting opinions polls and discussions regarding the topics learned. Class time will be structured to ensure both conditioning sets are thoroughly explained. This will be a fun yet informative way to learn about dogs! ****PLEASE NOTE: There is a 4-student class minimum. If a section does not reach 4 enrollments, it will be rescheduled.***
Learning Goals
The goal of this class is that students take away knowledge of how canines think and process the world. Students will learn that all of their actions when engaging with their dog is either reinforcing something positive or negative. This information can help shape a beautiful, new, knowledge-based relationship with their dog!

Teacher expertise and credentials
Hello! My name is Amber and I am a homeschooling mom of a wonderful 9 year old daughter. While raising my daughter, I attended McNeese State University where I earned a Bachelor's of Science in Criminal Justice and a Bachelor's degree in sociology. I also possess a private investigation's license through the State of Louisiana and have worked as a fraud consultant for the state as well. With that, however, I have a passion for working with animals and attended Duke University online for a certification program in canine cognition and emotion. I have attended countless seminars, workshops and certification courses. In 2016, I founded a German Shepherd rescue which now operates nationwide. in 2016, I also followed my passion to work with animals and now own/operate a canine training and rehabilitation facility. We also offer doggy daycare and boarding!
Through Outschool, I will be teaching canine-related classes. As an animal advocate both by profession and heart, I feel very strongly about educating dog owners on the dynamics of the canine/human relationship. I will be teaching extremely important topics such as canine safety 101 and canine psychology as well as canine behavior and body language. I will also be teaching fun and exciting courses such that introduce basic obedience at home!
I believe that we need to take proper care of animals and foster a mutually respectful relationship based on trust and communication. Children who love and are passionate about animals should be able learn about the amazing career fields that involve working with animals on a daily basis! As a homeschooling parent myself, I understand the importance of electives classes and fostering a child's interests and passions.
When not working dogs or teaching, I am very passionate about horseback riding. After not riding for nearly a decade, I decided to take riding lessons to learn from the ground, up!Reviews
