Training / behavior DVDs

[dicky601]

Has anyone found any good DVD's that help with training and behavior issues??

[Dave007]

There really aren't any DVDs on training that's legitimate. There's a DVD that is put out by a person named Chet Womack but it's been proven that when he first made the DVD, he didn't know what he now knows. His method was to constantly use sticks. He was forced to admit this on an activist board about 1 year ago. The odd thing though is that he's never made a revised edition to this very day.

I think the best way for you to learn about training and behavior is to constantly submit questions here where you'll get different opinions and different methods to try out that will eventually work for you and your bird--Dave

Now I know why I didn't like Chet's DVD, I suspected it was crap and now Dave has cleared that up for us, thank you Dave for your help.

 

Some of the members here have taught their greys tricks and such, just read thru a lot of the threads especially in the training room for a lot of good ideas. But you are welcome to ask specific questions, but if it is about tricks and training, be sure to put it in the training room.

Sorry about that. I didn't realize that you had a training room.

Sorry for what, nothing to be sorry about, I don't have the training room anymore, that is xxbeccyxx room now, I have the welcome room, but it wouldn't have made any difference anyway, no one owns them so you can post anywhere you like, we just like to keep the threads organized under the proper titles.

I Know MrSpock is right on.

 

I purchased Chet Womack's DVD over a year ago when I first got Jake my Breeder Peach Front Conure. It did not help me at all.

 

As already stated, asked the members here that have already had to overcome behaviour issues and also successfully trained their Greys.

 

There is a wealth of experience and helpful people here. :-)

I checked his sales pitch on the internet and with such a long ramble on, I knew he was trying too hard which meant it was of no use to me.

 

I agree, the best information is right here on this forum, we are full of it.:laugh:

[dicky601]

I had seen a couple of trial videos of his. He has also been emailing me every couple of days asking why I have not ordered a copy and how detrimental this could be to my parrots development if I dont. I didnt really appreciate that. From the amount of useful information here I can see that this forum will be much more beneficial to Herbie's well being.

Oh God, Like Chet is the "be all - end all" of Parrot behavior correction and training?

 

Yes, you know your being pressured in to a bad decision when they result to "SCARE" tactics. :-)

Chet Womak is full of CHIT!?

I saw his video once and it seemed too easy. I knew it was a fake. the bird was already tamed. not screaming, not scared. That is a joke.

I don't have any good DVDs but if I was going to seriously make the time investment into training tricks, etc. then I would try these out:
