Description

Love animals of all types? Thinking about a career in the animal or training industry, but not really sure how to get started? Or maybe you’re just curious about how to better communicate with your own pets, or teach Fido that neat new trick you saw on Buzzfeed? Well Congratulations--as Wolf Park has a new and exciting seminar that will fit all the above needs and more! “Fantastic Beasts and How to Train Them” featuring Master trainer Ken McCort will give participants the hands-on opportunity to learn, apply and practice their newfound training skills with a variety of animals, and even see more complex strategies implemented and extended to apply our Wolves, Coyotes, and Foxes! Geared towards those with limited experience or novice skills, topics of this seminar will cover a multitude of training bases—from the building blocks of learning, to shaping new behaviors and better understanding the animal perspective, to complex chains and more-- all utilizing the positive reinforcement training method. This seminar is designed for new trainers, or folks interested in honing their existing by providing a chance for tangible experience in a safe, constructive environment, as well as allow participants to gain the invaluable capability of working in a team setting with other trainers. At Wolf Park, some of our most passionate employees and volunteers have started out as youth in our education programs, and we’d like to extend an opportunity to the future of animal training: unlike other seminar opportunities past, Fantastic Beasts and How to Train them is open for anyone 12 years old and up! Do not let this dissuade any more mature participants, however—Ken’s unique teaching style and wealth of knowledge is sure to provide ample fodder for learners of ALL ages.
