Have you ever dreamed you 
were the star of your own show?   

If you could train animals the way Jim Clowers does YOU could have your own show, just like magic.Dreams like that can come true.  If you could train animals the way Richard Ford does, YOU could play the part of a magician in flowing robes.   With a wave of your wand you could have a chicken jumping through a hoop, or a duck playing the piano, or a parrot riding his own spiffed up motorcycle with the audience clapping their hands with wild appreciation!

Think of that!  If you could train animals the way Richard does, YOU could have your own show.  You could write the script for them to follow and your audiences would howl with laughter at how clever you were.

All you have to do is
Learn the Basics

Dreams do come true. All you have to do is LEARN THE BASICS and then you too can train just about any animal to do any trick you can think of.  

That's fine, but how do you learn the basics?

Richard Ford will teach you the basics.  It's an intense, hands-on kind of basic training.  Starting from scratch you will apply simple, workable strategies that will work with almost any animal star you want to train.

Richard laughs.  "We do start from scratch because a chicken is the perfect animal to begin learning the basics of how to train animals with."

For five days you will focus on training that chicken.  In your spare time you can learn how to make the props for your show too.

Richard Ford has started an internet based animal training program.  In this operant animal training Richard sends you instructions on how to train an animal to do a specific trick.  For example Richard has trained several rabbits to take pictures.  The zoo is located in a tourist area and Richard has the rabbits take souvenir photos.  Richard, as part of the internet animal training program would send you details on how to build the prop, and how to train the rabbits.

Richard Ford learned about operant animal training from Jim Clowers who was a neighbor Keller Breland.  For information on Keller Breland and his wife Marian please read the history of the zoo.  When Jim grew up and went to work it was only natural to work at the place Keller Breland had started.  Jim has since turned over the reins to Richard.

The most amazing thing about the Keller Breland trained animals who went out on the road to fairs, department stores, conventions, and tourist attractions was that no trained handler had to go with them. 

(Several sets of chickens, for example, were trained to be sent out ALONE with General Mills salesmen.) 

The animals were trained in Hot Springs, then traveled alone by Railway Express and were met by complete strangers at the end of their journey. 

These strange new handlers presented the acts with no more help than a handful of printed instructions. 

Yet, in thousands of such performances, the animals proved many times more reliable than the mechanical parts of their performing equipment or their human handlers.

Richard Ford believes 
almost any animal can be trained using this system.  
Your dog, your cat, your mouse, even your crows, cows, reindeer, cockatoos, raccoons, porpoises, and whales can be trained.  With the right training, YOU can train them.

If you could train animals the way Jim Clowers does YOU could have your own show, just like magic.  Yes, YOU can train animals so smart YOU look like a magician.  The exciting details are yours for free!
