Random Reinforcement with Ann Braue

Pre-orders qualify for free shipping as well as access to the stream of the DVD opening up on Thanksgiving. This short excerpt from Ann’s lecture gives a great analogy for the reasons behind using a random rate of reinforcement, rather than regular schedule of reinforcement. While we do use a very high rate of reinforcement during the learning phases with our young dogs, we eventually want to prepare them for competition by transitioning into a random reinforcement schedule.
