🎯 About the Course
This isn’t just a webinar series — it’s a behavioural deep dive into the principles, procedures, and practicalities behind the Bucket Game and cooperative care.
Whether you're new to the concepts or looking to refine and elevate your training, this course goes far beyond surface-level protocols. We'll unpack what’s really happening under the hood: the behaviour science, the environmental arrangements, the moment-to-moment decision-making, and the reinforcement histories that shape trust and confidence.
Webinar 1: 7th Sep 2025 18:00-21:00 UK Time
Webinar 2: 14th Sep 2025 18:00-21:00 UK Time
Webinar 3: 21st Sep 2025 18:00-21:00 UK Time
Across three 2-hour sessions, you'll explore:
The origins and evolution of the Bucket Game — what it is (and isn’t)
Behaviour-analytic foundations: antecedent arrangements, response classes, and reinforcement contingencies
How cooperative care fits within (and differs from) other forms of training
The role of agency, choice, and empowerment in husbandry behaviours
Common missteps and how to shift from rigidity to fluency
Practical strategies across different species — with real training examples, video clips, and actionable frameworks
