Setting Reinforcement Schedules with Your Dog
By Ed Frawley
In marker training, it is important to understand what reinforcement schedules are and why we must implement them. Our end goal is to get our dog on a random reinforcement schedule and to remain that way for the rest of their life.
There are several ways of rewarding our dogs:
1. Continuous Reinforcement
2. Variable Reinforcement
3. Random Reinforcement
Understanding what each of these categories are and then knowing when to apply them is important.
