Mannerly dogs, agility chickens, detection rats – the methods used to train these animals (any animal!) for their tasks is amazingly similar. And simple. With slides, video and helping participants practice their mechanical skills, the foundation for conditioning and training an animal with positive methods will be presented. Whether you’re a new pet parent or an animal trainer preparing chickens for a workshop, we think you’ll learn something new and fun. No prior experience needed.
