As you may know, I am an animal trainer (actually, I am going to start working as a dog trainer, soon!).
I wrote a new article on my site, Click'n Cavies. The article is on the power of choice in taming and training guinea pigs. It is actually the first part in a series of article that will explore the use of choice in taming and training. I believe the most important application of choice in animal training is developing a system of consent, which is what this article is all about. The series is called Cavy's Choice, but the information contained inside can apply to any species, not just guinea pigs.
Here is the article:
