쿠키 푸셔 논쟁

The Cookie Pusher Argument

0:00

Reinforcement-based dog trainers are just cookie pushers. Don't get mad, Susan. It's okay. Why that's a straw man argument? Because it reduces the sophistication of those of us who have spent decades studying the science of behavior into just a slim, very slim part of what we do. It ignores all the other reinforcement strategies, including the use of permissions or play or the manipulation of environments, the antecedent arrangements of every single training session. And the truth is, reinforcement-based training is a very intentional strategy. It isn't just waving a cookie in front of a dog's nose.
