Least Reinforcing Scenario

• Least Reinforcing Scenario corvus Posted : 8/25/2009 6:58:01 PM  I just finished reading Zoomility by Grey Stafford, and he introduced the Least Reinforcing Scenario as a way to react to animals when they didn't do what you wanted them to do. You do nothing for 3-5 seconds so as to avoid accidentally reinforcing, at that becomes a signal to your animal to wait calmly for another opportunity to be rewarded. Does anyone do this with their dogs?

If I do nothing, they start throwing behaviors. 0 LIKE Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.

• BEVOLASVEGAS Posted : 8/25/2009 10:59:31 PM I use this method.  I previously used a NRM but as soon as I would say "nope" they would start throwing other behaviors.  It is, IMO, much easier than using a NRM, & my dogs respond to it better. 0 LIKE Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.
