Oh Flock! w/Tusa
Added 2020-08-15 15:00:00 +0000 UTCDave decided to see if Tusa showed any interest in learning the retrieve...
Many of our trick training is based on our bird's natural interests. Which is why you see some birds do some tricks while others do ... well, other tricks. Tusa... well... not so much.

2020-08-17 17:15:20 +0000 UTCI want to ask โDid you set yourself up for success? Were you training before breakfast?โ Lol. Good to see that sometimes even an experienced trainer can struggle with a bird that isnโt motivated. Thanks Dave and Jamieleigh!

2020-08-16 19:00:47 +0000 UTCReally valuable for me to see your attempts to work through low motivation. It's also great to show a real example of a 1-2 motivation level so I can better gauge my guys' motivation more accurately!

2020-08-16 16:09:11 +0000 UTCThat clumsy step at the end!! ๐ thank you for showing this! Most of your training sessions look perfect and effortless, I know thatโs not the case, you guys work really hard for the results you get, but ours look more like this a lot of the time. So itโs really encouraging to see weโre not the only ones who have less than great sessions once in a while! Just like you say itโs important for the bird to fail, itโs important for OUR training to see your fails once in a while ๐

2020-08-15 18:06:25 +0000 UTCThank you. That video is honesty. Most trainers in most training specialties (horses, dogs, birds, etc) would NEVER show something like that because it shows a human side and they can't show that because then anyone really CAN train. Then THEY aren't special. Again, thank you. โค๏ธ

2020-08-15 15:58:59 +0000 UTCThis is something that I really needed to see. Itโs easy to be like Iโm never going to get him to learn this. However, if even Dave can have a training session go this way maybe thereโs hope for me after all.๐

2020-08-15 15:13:52 +0000 UTCThis made me laugh. Thank you for showing Dave struggling with training. It makes us non-pro trainers feel better about our own failures. I personally have a hard time not beating myself up when a session or interaction doesn't go as well as I would like. I have a hard time NOT comparing myself to you guys. This is a good reminder that no one gets it perfect all the time and even the best bird trainers in the world (in my opinion) can have an off day.
