This class is meant to expand on some of the ideas learned in How to Train Your Pet with Operant Conditioning, but can also be taken as a stand alone lesson. Students will learn what shaping is, what it means, and how it fits into Behavioral Psychology. They will learn how to break up a complicated trick into small steps so that their pet can understand and learn it. We will watch some short video examples during class, as well as discuss how shaping can be used with different types of pets, even goldfish!

Teacher expertise and credentials
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.Reviews
