Why might the same contexts trigger totally different behaviors in our pets? It can make their interactions really tough to predict...

In this episode, Naomi talks through the theoretical reasons why your pets' behavior might not be as predictable as the antecedent-behavior-consequence model seems.

What you'll hear in this episode:

  • the four (and a half) reasons* why different behaviors can happen in seemingly the same situation
  • how the intricacies of reinforcement can get complicated relatively quickly
  • why being a detail-oriented observer can help you predict your pet's behaviors

*note: there are MANY more reasons - these are just the ones I covered in this session :)
