If you’ve ever had a dog, cat, or other animal in your life…or oddly as it sounds, even a child, then do we have the relationship enhancing show for you!
Today I’ll be talking with Melissa Holbrook Pierson, the author of five books, including Dark Horses and Black Beauties (about our relationship with horses) and, most recently, The Secret History of Kindness, Learning From How Dog’s Learn.
Today we’ll talk about behaviorism, positive reinforcement and their potential to revolutionize our relationships with all species.
That plus we’ll talk about chickens on tight-ropes, rabbits riding firetrucks, why gambling prostitution and theft are rampant among Yale monkeys, a grandmother and her butter paddle, pigeon guided missiles and why having a democratic mom and a republican dad, may put miles on the car but not much else come elections.
