Description

Class Experience

Psychology was a large part of my Child Youth and Family studies program in University. When I had the chance to take an elective I chose a psychology course, and I have never stopped being fascinated with the brain. I believe that it is more important to teach children how to learn than it is to force them to learn. By teaching children about the brain I aim to build life long learners who understand how to strengthen their own mind.
Students should practice training their pets every day.
Students need a pet to train. Keep in mind that different types of pets learn at different speeds. Some pets such as snakes might not be trainable in a four week period, so contact ahead if you have a question about the type of pet you would like to train.
No live meetings, and an estimated 1 - 2 hours per week outside of class.
Be aware that every pet learns differently, and there is no guarantee that a particular training method will work. The main point of applying what we have learned to pet training is to help the students remember the concepts in a fun way. I will do my best to help students trouble shoot if they are having a hard time getting their pet to understand, however the goal of the class is not to have perfect pet behavior, but rather to help develop the relationship between children and their pets while learning about how pets think.
