Practising Numbers

Here Zeus and I play the numbers game. It was not our best day but I thought I would share anyway because learning does not happen linearly and this is a good reminder. You will see that I start by ‘priming the pump’ which means easier steps and then increase the challenge. At one point after increasing the numbers to three, I had to go back to an easier game in order to help Zeus find success again. We also have a bit of challenge to train because he seems to be guessing at times and this would suggest he may not yet be recognizing the numbers. If any animal behavioural trainers have suggestions about how we could improve the learning, we’d appreciate that. :)
