Ovens Valley Canine Clubrooms, R.C. McNamara Reserve, Lewis Ave, Myrtleford

Sascha Yeomans has successfully trained many different species, using clicker training to achieve complex trained behaviours with fish, guinea pigs, dogs, chickens, horses and cats.  Positive reinforcement including clicker training has been shown to have more consistent and reliable results than using food based rewards.  Find out how animals learn, and use this knowledge to develop your own training skills.

Now use this newfound knowledge and skills to train a chicken!
This course is run in a short format over a few days as the animals (and humans) will only cope with short periods of training.

Friday March 31st, 6.00pm-8.30pm, the theory behind using positive reinforcement and clickers; a short practical session without animals.  Light supper provided
