About the event
This isn't about putting a chicken through its paces for novelty. It's about sharpening your skills as a trainer by working with one of the most honest behavior models available: the chicken. The Mastering Your Mechanics Chicken Workshop is a hands-on, immersive experience designed to challenge your skills, deepen your understanding of learning theory, and elevate your ability to apply scientific principles to real-world animal training.
You won’t leave just saying, “I trained a chicken.”You’ll leave saying, “I now know how to create precise, reliable behavior—with any animal, in any setting.”
Whether you're working with dogs, horses, zoo animals, or humans—this workshop will give you a clearer lens on behavior, a stronger grasp on stimulus control, and the mechanical fluency to train with clarity and confidence.
Join us. Train smarter. Train better.
These workshops will begin being offered in Spring of 2026. Please RSVP to be kept up to date!
