Board and Train: As
a Certified Professional Bird Trainer, I can work on any training goals
you may have for your bird, whether it is to decrease biting, increase
step ups, teach them to recall to you, learn tricks (like ring toss,
etc…), learn to accept grooming without restraint, learn to be
comfortable being restrained, diet changes, and more. Just ask and we
will come up with a training plan together to achieve your goals. This
service can be added on for a daily fee. This training is above and
beyond the basic training I do with all client birds for management and
safety purposes. I also offer private bird training consults in your
home or mine, and skype consults as well. |
