Independent Study 1

Logs:

Evidence:

Trick: Lay down

Trick: Dance

Trick:Roll Over

Trick: Sit

Literal

(a)  “I, Katie S., affirm that I completed my independent component which represents 30 hours of work.” 

(b) I taught my dog Mina how to do 4 tricks I tried to teach her 5 ,but the last one she didn't entirely get.

Interpretive

Each trick I taught my dog took quite a bit of time and I used techniques that I read about in my research. I had to teach each trick using treats and a clicker to train her. She caught on very fast with the clicker, but I think she preferred the treats more.

Applied

This Independent Task taught me how to use training techniques and how to see if they actually work with my dog. It also answers my EQ answer of training and what techniques actually work. This will help me during my 2 hr presentation by telling which technique I think is best considering I will have had some experience.

ESLR

I have been a effective learner by trying my best in find accurate and creditable resources for my research for my senior project. As well as always try to learn something new at my service learning every time I go.\

My evidence would have to be my subscription for DogWorld Magazine which I just started my subscription this year to help me to have accurate information from professionals and not random people of the Internet.

I intend to improve next semester by trying to do more research and by learning how to do more at the  shelter I volunteer at.
