I'm a teacher. Some of my best behaviour tips come from dog training videos, but there isn't really a way to tell my colleagues which doesn't sound terrible.
I read "Don't Shoot the Dog" as a teenager... and boy did some of the principles in that book help when dealing with small children.

@fesshole xD I remember talking with some friends (also parents like me) and we all agreed that todlers are like baby dogs. I mean, it is fully accepted to say that a dog has the intelligence of a 3 year old person. Why not the other way around? I feel you. I am also a teacher and work with kids, teenagers, adults and elders

@leoschuldiner23 @fesshole At a small ranch rodeo once, I saw a demonstration of cattle dogs, which like sheepdogs will herd and separate animals both on their own and as commanded by whistles and hand signs. I asked one of the trainers, a middle-aged woman, how in the hell they train them so well. "Pressure and release," she answered. "Dogs, horses, kids, husbands. Doesn't matter. It's all just pressure and release."

@msbellows @fesshole PURE WISDOM. PURE WISDOM.

@fesshole Every parent who is also a dog owner knows exactly what you mean.

@Steampunk_Prof exactly! I always say my dogs are so well-behaved because I use my "disappointed kindergarten teacher" voice when they're bad. It works!

@fesshole Maybe if one were to use the term "Positive Reinforcement Learning Strategies", and then follow it up with "These are strategies that, in adapted forms, have proven exceptionally effective in e.g. Service Dog training. Note that the underlying principles can be surprisingly effective in the classroom as well."
That way, the focus is on the principle and the strategy, while keeping the implication "surprising" rather than potentially devaluing to the sensitive listener...?

@fesshole
In many ways there is little psychological difference between humans and dogs or they wouldn't live so well together. You can train both of them using similar principles, you just have to adapt the methodology. -

@fesshole Turns out the fundamental principle of selection (as in "natural selection" but without the natural part) also applies to learning: If you make it easier for a given behavior to exist, you will start seeing more of it over time, while if you make it harder you will start seeing less.
(Side note, the core principle of selection applies to literally everything in the universe and that realization has been occupying my mind ever since)

@fesshole
We used to watch "Supernanny" and "It's me or the dog" and think the same.
Most problems happen when you put them (dog/child) in charge, or don't set boundaries of what is right and wrong... applies to both. -

@svavar @fritzoids @fesshole probably wrote it because of her. Can’t be that many psycho puppy shooters out there, right? Right?

@eestileib @ermo @fesshole I was thinking more along the lines of “ developed for use with limited and non-verbal individuals with an emphasis on toned responses and visual cues”.

it is very kind of you to assume my teenagerhood was not that long ago.

You could just say that you learned the tips during professional development on Animal Assisted Intervention. Most trainings cover tips for working with therapy animals and students. No one has to know which side you pulled the methods from.

Perché l'embargo a Cuba è illegale? Perché è una punizione collettiva.
La punizione collettiva è rigorosamente vietata dal diritto internazionale umanitario, in particolare dalle Convenzioni di Ginevra del 1949. Nessuna persona può essere punita per un'infrazione non commessa personalmente. Il divieto include non solo rappresaglie ma anche assedi ed embarghi che privano la popolazione di beni essenziali (cibo, acqua, medicine).

Terzo motivo per cui è illegale l'embargo a Cuba
3. Divieto di punizione collettiva
L’uso dell’embargo per creare carestie, crisi energetiche e limitare l’accesso a beni essenziali configura una forma di punizione collettiva della popolazione civile, vietata dal diritto internazionale umanitario e dai trattati sui diritti economici, sociali e culturali. https://www.studiocataldi.it/articoli/48013-l-embargo-a-cuba-il-collasso-energetico.asp

Perché l'embargo a Cuba è illegale. Altra norma violata
2. Principio di non ingerenza e autodeterminazione
È considerato una misura coercitiva unilaterale che forza l’ordine interno e politico cubano, in contrasto con l’Art. 2 della Carta delle Nazioni Unite e con il principio di autodeterminazione dei popoli, denunciata come strumento di pressione politica illegittima.

Tre punti brevi sulle principali norme internazionali violate dall’embargo statunitense contro Cuba.
1. Diritto del commercio internazionale (GATT/OMC)
L’embargo viola le regole del libero scambio e delle libertà commerciali, in particolare i principi del GATT e dell’OMC, perché impone restrizioni generalizzate sulle importazioni ed esportazioni con Cuba, limitando contratti e accordi commerciali legittimi tra Stati terzi e l’isola.
