by Barbara Heidenreich

Animal trainer Barbara Heidenreich uses solid scientific evidence to teach you positive reinforcement techniques to train your parrot in the Parrot Behavior Training DVD. Barbara covers the basic fundamentals of parrot training with positive reinforcement. She gives you detailed instructions on how to shape and improve your parrots behavior using companion parrots that are learning the behaviors for the first time.

"Positive reinforcement bird training allows caregivers to address behavior problems, train their birds to cooperate in their own medical care to reduce stress, and teach their parrots to be fun and interactive companions. The positive reinforcement approach also fosters a relationship based on trust. The result is a well behaved parrot who has learned there is no need for fear responses or aggressive behavior. This gentle approach to creating and modifying behavior is highly successful. At the same time it maintains and promotes a wonderful relationship with your bird. The products and services provided by Good Bird ® Inc teach you how to attain your behavior and training goals with the added benefit of promoting a special bond with your parrot.."
