ABA based animal trainer in Vermont. Author of A Guide To Living With & Training A Fearful Dog and Does My Dog Need Prozac? I worked as an RBT with kids pre-COVID. Trying to stay inspired, hopeful & engaged. I row, swim, bike & try not to fall down x-country skiing. I mostly love turning ppl on to teaching (any species) w/o using force, fear, pain or manipulation. AKA Debbie Jacobs RBT, CPDT
Working on educational events for trainers looking to increase their understanding of behavior and the mechanical skills of teaching using humane methods. https://fearfuldogs.com/events/
The science of behavior supports humane and effective training. "Feelings are most easily changed by changing the settings responsible for what is felt........When a setting cannot be changed a new history of reinforcement may change its effect."
B.F. Skinner from his paper The Place of Feeling in the Analysis of Behavior.

Insights and info about behavior from a Certified Professional Dog Trainer and Registered Behavior Technician. I am the creator of the fearfuldogs.com website a resource recommended by trainers and veterinarian behaviorists. My book, "A Guide To Living With And Training A Fearful Dog" is a must-read for anyone starting the journey of helping a dog learn to be comfortable in their world. I want to give a shout-out and thanks to the B.F. Skinner Foundation (bfskinner.org) for permission to record Science and Human Behavior. Find more books by Skinner on their site.
I was given permission by the Skinner Foundation to record Science and Human Behavior. I'm up to Chapter 22 Government and Law. If you've never heard Skinner's take on how we are controlled by others, now's a good time in history for it.

We got the bird feeders up today. Game on. Waiting for the squirrels to make the next move.
Not enough snow at Woodford State Park for comfortable x country skiing but we did get the chance to see how our ex foster dog who is visiting did ski joring. #vermont
Looking forward to the spring multi-species training workshop we're planning again at Lemon's Hope Sanctuary in Brattleboro. We'll have two canid specialists, a wolf trainer and coyote researcher presenting along with info on how to train efficiently & humanely.
