Training exercises

Learn the foundation behaviours and advanced cues for your Un-Chase! programs (including emergency behaviours and chase-based approaches to recall training), how and when to use them, and the role of clicker training.

Reinforcers

Consider the role of reinforcers versus rewards in anti-chase training, and the pros and cons of their use.
