“A higher rate of reinforcement leads to a faster rate of learning.” – Dr. Sophia Yin, DVM, CAAB, MS

Capturing Desirable Behaviors is a timely update to Sophia Yin’s Learn to Earn Program, introducing a modern approach to animal training that emphasizes positive reinforcement and gives pets greater freedom of choice. Moving beyond the leadership model that required pets to earn resources for good behavior—often causing conflict and frustration—this updated program focuses on capturing, shaping, and rewarding voluntarily offered, desirable behaviors. The result is a more positive, low stress training experience for both you and your pet, no matter the type of pet.

With clear, easy-to-follow instructions, this booklet helps you strengthen your bond with your pet through improved communication and collaboration. Whether you’re new to caring for animals or have years of experience, Capturing Desirable Behaviors provides the tools to encourage positive habits and build a lasting, fulfilling relationship with any companion animal.
