The 5th Annual
Art and Science of Animal Training Conference
Saturday, February 2, 2013
University of North Texas

Dear friends,
As you know, the 5th annual Art and Science of Animal Training Conference is approaching quickly. Please remember that regular registration ends on January 15.
We want to thank all of you who submitted suggestions for Bob Bailey's talk. We received many great suggestions and Bob had a hard time picking just one. So, he's decided to incorporate several of his favorite suggestions into his talk. Here's what Bob will be talking about at our 2013 conference:
Title: "What did Bailey do, and why: a training potpourri."
Abstract: Descriptions of some of the training problems faced by trainers at Animal Behavior Enterprises, and by Bob and Marian Bailey, and their use of applied behavior analysis to solve those problems.
1) Training extended distance and duration - Hurrier I go, the behinder I get!
2) Optimize training time - THINK, PLAN, DO!
3) Observational skills, reading body language, the biology of behavior.
4) Superstition - You get what you reinforce, not what you want - importance of timing and setting criteria.
5) Errors in training - The animal is never wrong: It's the trainer, stupid!
6) Training military and police trainers. "Soft" training for "hard" trainers.
