Manage episode 478366808 series 2557254
In this first installment of a two-part conversation, we welcome Dr. Keira Moore—behavior analyst, dog trainer, and dedicated advocate for compassionate, ethical training. With over two decades of experience in behavior analysis and a PhD from Western New England University, Keira bridges the worlds of human and animal behavior science, applying her expertise to both dog training and consulting on anxiety and sleep-related challenges.
Keira takes us on a fascinating journey through her career, from her early love of animals and behavioral psychology studies to working with children on the autism spectrum and ultimately finding her passion in dog training. Along the way, she shares how her introduction to clicker training (involving an unexpected feline trainee!) shaped her approach to behavior modification. We also explore the core principles of radical behaviorism and how they apply across species—from humans to dogs and beyond.
What You’ll Discover in This Episode:🐾 Keira’s unique career path from human behavior analysis to professional dog training. 🐾 How radical behaviorism shapes our understanding of learning across species. 🐾 The power of reinforcement in behavior modification—whether working with children, dogs, or even cats! 🐾 Insights into Keira’s work addressing anxiety, reactivity, and severe behavior challenges. 🐾 The science behind behavior change and how trainers can apply these principles effectively.
Why This Episode is a Must-Listen:Keira’s extensive expertise, combined with her engaging storytelling, makes this episode a must-hear for trainers, behaviorists, and anyone fascinated by the science of learning. Whether you're new to applied behavior analysis or a seasoned trainer looking to deepen your knowledge, this episode will challenge and inspire you.
