For starting any basic position behaviour like sits, downs, stands and hand touches. The Reinforcement schedule to start on would be continuous reinforcement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A constant and predictable reinforcer program allows the trainer and dog to get into a fluid rhythm of Cue-Behaviour\u2013Reinforcer-Cue-Behaviour-Reinforcer and quickly connects the behaviour to the cue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
However, move on when you\u2019re both ready.<\/h4><\/div>\n\n\n\n
Once the behaviour repetition rate is stable, transfer onto a variable ratio reinforcement schedule as this will increase the dog’s focus on continuing to perform the behaviour, reducing the risk of only giving the behaviour when the reinforcer is present. It also reduces any problems with anticipation or Post-Reinforcer pauses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
When training self-control behaviours, such as relaxation or being calm. A variable reinforcement schedule would be a good choice, enabling the increase in the average interval between the reinforcers. While at the same time, the problems of anticipation and Post-Reinforcer pauses were reduced without compromising performance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Teaching higher demand behaviours, such as the duration for sits and down stays. The variable duration reinforcement schedule is an excellent choice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The schedule can be tailored like the other variable rate schedules to the dog\u2019s current ability level and increased as the training progresses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Whichever the schedule, the main criteria is that it should be set up for the dog to succeed and expand difficulty from that point. Managing training this way builds the dog’s confidence in themselves and their ability to continue the training.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
What are the available reinforcement schedules for positive reinforcement training? The reinforcement schedules are Continuous Reinforcement Schedule (CRF) and intermittent reinforcement schedules, which is subdivided into Fixed Ratio schedules (FR), Variable Ratio Schedules (VR), Fixed Interval Schedules (FI), Variable Interval Schedules (VI), Fixed Duration Schedules (FD) and Variable Duration Schedules (VD).
