Our training philosophy is simple:
We focus on relationships!
As we use positive reinforcement to build up a trusting relationship, we can often find the sources of problem behaviors. We can then treat the source of the problem, and not just the symptom.
Here are a few of our core beliefs:
- We make learning fun for you and your bird.
- Positive reinforcement will help establish trust and help your bird learn appropriate behavior.
- Punishment generally hurts more than helps and has many negative consequences.
- Getting bitten is NOT a necessary part of being a bird owner.
- You CAN have a better relationship with your bird, and so can the other members of your “flock”!
- Quick fixes are not long term solutions and are often damaging.
- We examine all aspects of your bird’s life to address behavior: environment, health, diet, interaction with animals/people and other factors.
- We give you the tools to train your bird and guide you through every step.
