Conference Learning…at its best!
This internationally known panel of presenters cover a broad spectrum of training fields - dogs, cats, birds, dolphins, whales, manatees, and many more. Their own curiosity to learn has brought them to a place where they have something to share with you!
The 4 Days will Cover:
- On stage training demos with dogs; formal presentations on training procedures; the politics of training (including certification); panel discussions and Q&A all to add to your knowledge base going forward to creating a curiosity for both the novice and the professional trainer (and all of you in between who are also animal trainers) so you can take “actionable gems” to further your own training.
- Learn more about changing your own behaviour! Improving your observational skills, taking data and improving it and of course…also covered Bob’s mantra: Timing, criteria and rate of reinforcement! Make your future training better through onstage insight for your own dogs, students and students dogs.
- Cutting edge trainers will talk about current training methods and how the evolution of that training brought about the current stream of positive training and trainers.
- Leave the conference with the knowledge of "games people play" to improve their mechanical skills. How fast to move, evaluate how accurate is your hand/eye coordination, how far can you accurately toss food, and other skills can be taught without your dog or to share with your students.
- At the same time as all of the above you yourself will be learning via the internet how to build a greater reach to bring your own message on training to the masses. Live the experience from your home and have 30 days to review and implement what you learn.

Good teachers give their students roots and wings: roots to know steadfast practices and principles, and wings to fly off and exercise those practices and principles."

Since 1950, Keller (1915-1965) and Marian Breland, and then Marian and Bob Bailey trained animals in Hot Springs. The commercial practice of operant conditioning arguably has its roots in Hot Springs, Arkansas (Ref: Bailey & Gillaspy, Operant Psychology Goes to the Fair: Marian and Keller Breland in the Popular Press, 1947–1966, The Behavior Analyst No. 2 (Fall) 2005, 28, 143–159). In 1994 the Baileys offered animal training classes (chicken training, which the Brelands had begun in 1948 in Minnesota) to the public. Before her death in 2001, Marian had taught many hundreds of students. Bob continued the workshops in Hot Springs until 2004.
This event is a celebration of those years, and a revisiting of the concepts, principles, and practices taught during those years.
Bob Bailey, with over 63 years’ experience training thousands of animals, will lead the parade of trainers. Some of the teachers are former Bailey & Bailey students from those early chicken workshop years.
Simon Prins, from the Netherlands, single-handedly convinced a group of policemen to try the “new” technology. Simon has advised many European military and police in systematically applying operant training procedures.
Susan Garrett, already a world agility champion, came to Hot Springs to learn what she could from the Baileys’ “White Ladies.”
Shelley Wood, of Dolphin Discovery, is a dolphin trainer, educator, entrepreneur in the Marine Mammal community, and a Past President of IMATA (International Marine Animal Trainer’s Association).
Viviane Theby is a German veterinarian and chicken workshops instructor who, along with Bob, has developed some objective tests for dog trainers. She should have data to report.
Joining us also is Margaret Simek, from One Happy Dog, who will be helping with on-stage dog training demos.
In a mixture of lecture, training, Q & A, and panel discussion, this group will bring to you an educational, useful, and above all, interesting, four days!
