1. A method for acclimating a dog to autonomous training sessions with a training apparatus, comprising:
during a first priming session:
accessing a video feed of a working field adjacent the training apparatus via an optical sensor integrated into the training apparatus; and
detecting the dog in the video feed;
during a first period of the first priming session, initiating a first priming protocol, in a set of priming protocols, comprising:
dispensing a first set of primary reinforcers into the working field at frequencies within a first range of frequencies via a dispenser integrated into the training apparatus; and
characterizing a first acclimation level of the dog during dispensation of the first set of primary reinforcers based on behaviors of the dog detected in the video feed during the first period;
during a second period of the first priming session, in response to the first acclimation level exceeding a threshold acclimation:
dispensing a second set of primary reinforcers into the working field at frequencies within a second range of frequencies less than frequencies within the first range of frequencies; and
characterizing a second acclimation level of the dog during dispensation of the second set of primary reinforcers based on behaviors of the dog detected in the video feed during the second period; and
in response to the second acclimation level of the dog exceeding the threshold acclimation and frequencies within the second range of frequencies falling below a threshold frequency, verifying completion of the first priming protocol.
