DID YOU KNOW THAT VOLUNTARY NAIL TRIMS CAN MAKE A BIG DIFFERENCE?
Training voluntary nail trims for your bird can make a difference in your bird’s biting, how it views strangers and going into a travel crate. Voluntary nail trims means you don’t have to wrap your bird up in a towel or endure painful squawks, bites, and traumatic immobilizations.
Stressful interactions can have a measurable impact on your relationship and your bird’s health. It can also mean they are distrustful of strangers if you use a mobile groomer, crating and car rides if you have to go to the vet every few months for grooming. Parrots are so smart they pick up on all of these cues after just a couple of repetitions, and soon the entire episode from start to finish dumps unhealthy stress hormones in their bodies for days afterward.
We can turn that extreme negative into a huge positive by training a mutually beneficial interaction.
THE VOLUNTARY NAIL TRIM COURSE HAS TRIED AND TRUE METHODS TO HELP YOU ACHIEVE SUCCESS WITH YOUR BIRD.
Each lesson shows real time training sessions with students who have never trained the behavior before.

Yes! We have trained older birds voluntary nail trims that have had a long history of being toweled up for restrained nail trims. Even for these birds, it took us less than two weeks to train this behavior. Training times may vary, but it was rewarding to see birds with such a negative history respond so beautifully.
