I just got a dvd set by her and hope it will worth the money.Seemed to get good reviews.
I do better watching things done then reading them so Im hoping this might give me an edge for training..

She is an excellent trainer and does amazing work. Your dvd's should be well worth the money.

Ditto! :D She breaks each process down to baby steps and it's so easy to follow. Plus she focuses on positive reinforcement which I really like. I rewatch my dvds every so often to refresh my memory and review her techniques. Definitely money well spent!

She's giving a seminar in northeast Ohio in November, sponsored by the local chapter of PEAC (Parrot Education and Adoption Center), if you are local and interested.

Thanks, I just started watching the first one and it looks like something I can handle.Im pretty excited to try this.Tinker just came out of her cage on her own this weekend for the first time.She promptly started biting me, not like aggression that our Gabby does but more like testing me to see what I would do.

I have her "Good Bird" booklet and have read an article of hers in "Parrots". I think she is very sound and not at all extremist about anything, I like her. "Good Bird" most addresses problem behaviors, but it is a nice little reference.
