When working with any behavior you’re trying to influence, you can either choose to train it in the context you’ll need it, or you can choose to layer the context in gradually. Which is a better choice, and when? Are there drawbacks to each? Join Sarah as she explores these questions. Patreon: www.patreon.com/cogdogradio Cog Dog Classroom: cog-dog-classroom.teachable.com/

Join Sarah as she discusses the recent paper “Ancestry-inclusive dog genomics challenges popular breed stereotypes” (Morrill, et al) with one of the authors and repeat podcast guest, Dr Jessica Hekman. Affectionately known as “the mutt paper” amongst its authors, this research has been taking the internet by storm due to the click-bait-y articles that have been written about it. What does the paper actually say? What does it not say? What can we use this research for, as professionals? The paper and the supplementary materials: https://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/science.abk0639?fbclid=IwAR0CY2tlftCuZPHGdR7rcioZRfj_hsqNHZ4uytNPcNQQAO5iRtYN-a-NYgY More about Dr Hekman: http://www.dogzombie.com/ and https://functionalbreeding.org/ Cog Dog Classroom: cog-dog-classroom.teachable.com/ Patreon: www.patreon.com/cogdogradio
