Did you know that you can use these same principles to train another species? In fact, training another species will hone your observation skills and sharpen your mechanics, ultimately helping you become a more skilled and effective dog trainer. So why not broaden your horizons and embark on a journey of discovery with a new furry, feathery, or scaly friend?<\/span><\/div><\/div><div class=\"x-column x-sm x-1-2 e24833-e9 mj5t-a mj5t-b\"><div  class=\"x-video embed with-container\" ><div class=\"x-video-inner\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/player.vimeo.com\/video\/927164954?badge=0&amp;autopause=0&amp;player_id=0&amp;app_id=58479\" width=\"1080\" height=\"1920\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"autoplay; fullscreen; picture-in-picture; clipboard-write\" title=\"Benefits of Working with Multiple Species_1\"><\/iframe><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"x-container max width e24833-e11 mj5t-3 mj5t-5 mj5t-7 mj5t-9\"><div class=\"x-column x-sm x-1-1 e24833-e12 mj5t-a\"><div class=\"x-text x-content e24833-e13 mj5t-e mj5t-g blog-links\"><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Students in the <\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/www.karenpryoracademy.com\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Karen Pryor Academy (KPA) Dog Training Professional (DTP) program<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> are required to choose an alternate, non-canine, species to work with in order to complete several exercises in the program.

Chickens are capable of learning all sorts of great tricks! The behaviors in the video are just the beginning. I've also taught walking with me, an enthusiastic recall, color differentiation, walking through a hula hoop, and targeting lots of new objects.
