A Workshop - 2008 Scarborough, Ontario Canada
Dr. Susan Friedman, PhD, a behaviorist for over 30 years is a forerunner in the application of Applied Behavior Analysis to animals and parrots. She was joined by Phung Luu and our special guest speaker, Bob Bailey. Phung Luu is an animal trainer and consultant to zoos, various animal facilities and pet owners, teaching people to train and, training birds for free-flight demonstrations and medical and husbandry behaviors. Bob Bailey is an animal training consultant and teacher with a career spanning 60 years and many operant conditioning firsts. Having trained more than 200 species of animals, he has been a major contributor to our current culture of training. We were indeed fortunate to learn from this master.
Using lecture, videos, interactive activities, workbook and live demonstrations, these three professionals took us with them down the behavioral continuum from B.F. Skinner to tomorrow and demonstrated what works, what doesn't and why. The workshop also covered:
*behavior analysis principles
*simplifying training
*the best practices for the best outcomes
*empowerment
*changing behavior
*training the trainer
*live demonstrations
