Animal Training 101
Saturday, November 14th, 10 a.m. – 12 p.m.
If you’ve been to the National Aviary and have seen a hawk land majestically on a trainer's glove or have marveled at a talking parrot, you have probably asked yourself, “How do they do that?” In this introductory workshop, participants will learn about the training that goes into the complex behaviors that birds display in our indoor and outdoor FliteZone™ bird shows. Having gained a solid foundation of the terms and techniques used in positive reinforcement and classical conditioning training, participants will leave the Aviary with the basic tools to start training almost any animal — including dogs, cats, parrots, or even spouses!

This workshop can be scheduled for private groups with a minimum of 15 guests. Not recommended for groups with guests under the age of 16. Please call 412-323-7235 ext 209 for more information.
