Behavior Consulting, Training, Pet Sitting

Even Shakespeare had trouble with his dog. He called Korrect Kritters.
He was so happy with our services, he wrote this sonnet.

When Chaos attends ev’ry waking hour,
With still more barks and howls all through the night,
It is enough to turn the sweetest sour,
When lack of sleep meets morning’s dawning light.
Your begging cannot produce harmony,
For Spot, the dog, he knows who’s in the house;
Cooperation works like A-B-C,*
And better manners he will soon espouse.
That villain Chaos must needs meet defeat,
And Calm and Patience have to lead the way;
A good behavior? Here, my boy, a treat!
We both work hard so that we both can play.
Do you have troubles working with your pet?
Call Korrect Kritters, and you’ll be all set.

I REALLY enjoyed the conference of the FL Association of Behavior Analysis!! Two and a half days of research and applied behavior analysis. Presenters work in a variety of areas. Some work with children, some with adults, group homes, autism, brain injury, and more. There were also presenters who work with different species of animals: pets, zoos, feral dogs, cats, and more. There was SO much to try and cover. 

This is a picture (by Val Phillips) of panelists on ”New Horizons in Animal Training and Care: Operant Conditioning and Beyond. The main focus is operant conditioning and husbandry in domesticated and captive animals.”
