The first DVD covers the basic fundamentals of training with positive reinforcement. We give you detailed instructions on how to shape behavior with approximations. Our training subjects are companion parrots learning behaviors for the first time. Be the first to experience these special moments of learning captured on film. Barbara Heidenreich has been animal trainer and behavior consultant since 1990 and has trained birds and their handlers in zoos and other facilities around the world. She joined the board of directors of the International Association of Avian Trainers and Educators 1997 and is now it's first female president. In her career, she has learned how the science of behavior works, how positive reinforcement training allows one to forge an amazing bond with an animal, an how many people are seeking information to help them do the same. In her years of presenting free flight bird shows, Barbara often received questions pertaining to companion parrots in the home. The questions led Barbara to write her first book, "Good Bird! A Guide To Solving Behavior Problems in Companion Parrots". Seeing the need for good information on positive reinforcement training in the companion parrot community, Barbara began teaching work shops on parrot behavior and training, offering in home consultations, and speaking to parrot interest groups. Encouraged by the enthusiasm and excitement she saw for positive reinforcement training she decided to launch Good Bird Inc to further her efforts. This DVD, the first in a multiple part-series marks a new chapter in her instructional career. Barbara Heidenreich Resume
