The idea
A new skill is taught fastest on continuous reinforcement, with every correct response reinforced.
In practice
Every correct sit earns the dog a treat during the first training sessions.
Where people slip
Continuous reinforcement also extinguishes fastest, so it is a starting schedule and not a maintaining one.
Your place on the trail
Every lesson rests on earlier ones and opens later ones. Tap any to jump.
Unlocks
- Nothing yet depends on this.
