Harness Training Online Class
Taking your parrot outdoors can be dangerous. Wing clipping does not stop birds from flying off. Start the journey of being able to safely take your parrot everywhere with this harness training online class!
Work with me, professional trainer Melanie Canatella, for four weeks on this behavior. This class will have four 1-hour classes over the span of four weeks. The class is designed to break down al the topics into digestible pieces and allows time for you to work on those steps! At the beginning of the session there will be time to go over any troubleshooting, share updates, and other accomplishments. There will be a brief Q&A after each class on the education taught that week. This class is not to be a guarantee that your bird will be harness trained after just four weeks. Using the methods talked about in this class, I have had birds harness trained within a week, and some take more than a month. Training is individualized, meaning timelines and successful methods may vary between bird. I have taken all the most common methods used over the years and created this class to apply to as many birds as possible.
