A listener, who is a scientist, asked a great question - "Can positive reinforcement training reach the cognitive side of the brain?" Great question. I had to think about this and am excited to share my thoughts. We then explore Canine Enrichment exercises, their benefits, and if they reach the cognitive side of the brain.I then use an example provided by a professor as to what CBT is and how it is like making soup!I was recently a guest on a tv show where I provided a tip that combines R+ exercises and CBT to help integrate a rescued dog into your home. This tip got a lot of great feedback, so I thought I would share it.For more info on the listener who asked the question, visit her IG page - DogScienceSaysWhat the Dog Science Says (@dogsciencesays) • Instagram photos and videos And, as always, thanks to Open Strum and Danielle Bourjeaurd for the music clips Open Strum(6) Danielle Bourjeaurd | FacebookI am now on ClubHouse as Billie Groom - follow me and let me know and I will follow back!Links to Billie Groom and UPWARD Dogology: https://www.upwarddogology.com/   Billie Groom | LinkedIn(2) UPWARD Dogology (@UDogology) / TwitterUPWARD Dogology (@upwarddogology) • Instagram photos and videosUpward Dogology | FacebookSeason 5 is a "Dogology" of tips, Q and A's, interviews, discussions and a deeper look UPWARD Dogology all with the goal of making the world a better place!
