Teatime with Elsa - Episode 119

Chatting about: "Aversives"…

In this episode I talk about how possible it is for us to train horses without using "aversives". Can we really train by reinforcing the behaviors we appreciate without discouraging the behaviors that we don't appreciate? Is there such thing as positive reinforcement without negative reinforcement? We talk about the reality of contrast causing "aversives" no matter what kind of training we do with our horses.
