February 2018 special 1 day Cluck I workshop for UC Davis Veterinary school Behavior Club students.
Limited spots so YOU receive very personalized instruction at the workshop.
Our wonderful hens will allow you to learn or practice the important principles of training without the worries of attending to your dog while the instructor speaks.
Workshops are an intense two days of instruction with the hens.
Depending on venue, workshops are 10 to 22 working spots and the same number of auditing spots.

Learn how to create training plans using criteria setting, splitting criteria, sticking to short sessions, remaining still and quiet while training, timing and rate of reinforcement.
