The importance of antecedent arrangements in dog training
In this podcast episode, Susan discusses the significance of antecedent arrangements in dog training. While many people focus on consequences and reinforcement, Susan emphasizes that understanding and altering the antecedent arrangements before a behavior occurs can be more effective. She explains that antecedent arrangements can include stimuli like smell, sight, routine, past experiences, emotional states, and motivators. Susan encourages listeners to eliminate or modify antecedent arrangements that lead to undesired behaviors and instead create antecedents that prompt the desired behaviors in dogs. By doing so, Susan believes it is possible to achieve more efficient and successful training outcomes.
