subject: A Bird Training Review Of The Dvd: "taming, Training And Tricks" From Chet Womack [print this page] I initially became familiar with this bird training course when our household adopted a one-legged Patagonian Conure from a bird rescue. Zeke is his name and he came to us with some psychological problems. He was very aggressive and usually didnt like anybody getting too near to his cage. We wanted to do something to help this little bird who deserved a better life.
Is This a Good Bird Training DVD?
Millions of people worldwide struggle with their parrots' behavioral problems. And from this day forward there are no longer any excuses to have difficulties with your parrots. Chet and Dave Womack walk you through step-by-step as they take untamed, and untrained birds, and train you in real time the actual steps they use to tame and train their parrots to become little star performers.
This in depth bird training DVD is quite clear and concise as well as fun. As Chet Womack walks you through teaching and training your feathered friend, you'll see that the bird training process is fairly straightforward to do.
Chet Womacks bird training program works!
Chet Womack addresses how his methods work in the "Taming, Training and Tricks" DVD. He walks you through training your bird each trick, step-by-step. He also explains the "training diet"; a feeding schedule that positively affects the attention span of your bird by making him hungry before training, so that he can readily receive food rewards. In the trick training course, he shows you how effective using visual cues along with commands can be, and using verbal rewards in addition to food as a positive reinforcement. There is some discrepancy and misunderstanding surrounding this bird training technique, but once you see how well it works, you will realize that you cant argue with success.
In the "Taming, Training and Tricks" DVD Chet thoroughly explains fundamental taming steps, for instance rewarding the bird for feeling at ease with you approaching him at specific distances, and getting the bird properly acquainted with the sound and purpose of the training clicker. He demonstrates, on camera, the beauty of having a clicker throughout training. I can genuinely say from my own personal journey of taming our rather fearful Patagonian Conure, Zeke, that this technique does certainly work, and I can definitely say that I saw improvement from him within the same day.
In the "Taming, Training and Tricks" video, his brother, Dave Womack, demonstrates how easy it can be to take a bird who doesnt favor you and is defiant to perch, and make him want to perch on your hand. He even begins the training course with precisely the same scenario, to show you how fast it can be taught if performed properly. After having tamed said bird, he soon starts the trick training.
Personally, I reviewed this DVD several times over a span of time because I wanted to do my bird training in the best possible way and Chet Womacks "Taming, Training & Tricks" DVD helped my bird and me so much! Whatever you do, do not become frustrated with your bird training! Simply just get back at it once per day and your patience WILL pay off!
