Worked closely with many species, birds with behavioral problems, and now birds of prey and other wildlife
...can it be done? Any tips/tricks I can use?
Now that Espresso has gotten more comfortable with us, I want to start training her a bit. Potty training would be nice but obviously not necessary. I've started taking her over to the trash can for her morning poop, saying "go poop," and praising her. She doesn't poop on me often so it is difficult to catch...should I watch her while she is out playing on her own too? Would starting with target training help or should I focus on one thing at a time?
Obviously I will love her no matter how successful any training is and will absolutely respect her if she wants nothing to do with it; I just want to improve her quality of life and would love to get her flighted/recall trained eventually.
