The Foundations of Behavior:

This course covers the foundational concepts of behavior. Key to living with any animal is understanding the role of behavior, what elements effect behavior and what elements can be influenced. But behavior doesn’t always work the way people think it works. To truly understand how behavior really works we need to look to science. There are lot of factors contributing to behavior, much more than just consequences, as is so often the focus of animal trainers. This course brings together information from many behavioral sciences including operant conditioning, ethology, and neuroscience in a way that takes the mystery out of behavior and makes managing behavior easy to understand and implement. In this course, professional animal trainer and avid student of behavior, Chris Biro, breaks behavior down into its core elements so you can easily understand and manage your pets behavior, backed up with real life examples from his 30+ years experience doing shows with his own parrots.
