Who's Using Clicker Training Learning Theory and Learning Theory "Learning Theory" is a discipline of psychology that attempts to explain how an organism learns. It consists of many different theories of learning, including instincts, social facilitation, observation, formal teaching, memory, mimicry, and classical and operant conditioning. It is these last two that are of most interest to animal trainers. Why should animal trainers be bothered with learning the theory behind how their animals learn? Many excellent trainers have no formal schooling or organized understanding of how their training is effective or how their charges work. But training is both an art and a science. More and more trainers - pet owners, show competitors, horseback riders, show-business trainers, zookeepers, aquarium trainers and more - are finding that an understanding of learning theory helps them understand their animals' behaviors better, and plan their training accordingly. So trainers are learning the theory of learning theory!

Introduction to Animal Training When did people first start training animals? People have been training animals for thousands of years. Historically, falconers have trained hawks, and hunters have trained dogs. Dogs have also been trained for herding livestock and for pulling sleds. Elephants have been trained for carrying logs. Horses and camels have been trained for riding and hauling. Today, people still train these animals. Marine mammal training, however, is a relatively new field. For example, people have been training killer whales for only about the past 25 years. It is only recently that we have begun to explore the learning aptitude of marine mammals. Something to remember about animal training. The field of marine mammal training continues to change as we learn more and more about the behavior of these unique animals. Today's leaders in the field of animal training do not have all the answers to the questions that intrigue us. SeaWorld trainers are working at the forefront of animal training. Hence, our knowledge is relatively new and ever-changing. Long term studies in marine mammal behavior will continue to give us new insights.
