One of my online courses is called Getting Behaviour – The Foundations of Animal Training.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

My students are really excited about it.<\/p>\n

I’m very proud of it, and I had this idea to share part of the course for free, here on the blog. The course is about 13 hours long and contains 108 short videos, so I wanted to pick one of them and share with you.<\/p>\n

That was difficult. Which video to choose?<\/p>\n

After racking my brain for a while, I asked my current students for their help in making the selection, and they eagerly jumped at the opportunity and suggested a handful of their personal favourites.<\/p>\n

Interestingly, they all suggested that I share different<\/em> chapters – in fact, there was only one<\/em> chapter that got several votes.<\/p>\n

Two votes<\/em>, to be exact.<\/p>\n

Kinda disappointing, I had sort of hoped that students would all point to one video being The Best Video In The Course<\/em>.<\/p>\n

No such thing, apparently.<\/p>\n

But one of those videos actually got two votes.<\/p>\n

And it was this one.<\/p>\n

So, without further ado, here’s chapter 2, called “what is training – and behaviour” from Module 1 of the Getting Behaviour course. It’s one of the longest videos of the course, normally they’re two to eight minutes long. This one’s 13.<\/p>\n

What is behaviour?<\/p>\n

You may think you know… or maybe not..! You’re not alone – even behavioural biologists disagree on this topic. And they should know.<\/p>\n
