Bird Training Dvd Review Part 2

Sorry it took a couple extra days to get this out to you. My birthday was labor day and yesterday was quite a hectic day at work. Here’s the second part of my review.

One thing I really enjoyed was right after I ordered I received a confirmation e-mail that contained two e-books that I could start working with right away. I’m one of those people who hate the wait associated with ordering things online so this was fantastic. Instant gratification…isn’t that something we’re all after?

The first of the two e-books dealt entirely with one of my problems. It covered in depth how to befriend your bird and gain it’s trust. It had many little tricks that Chet and Dave had figured out that I dont think I ever would have thought of. I dont think it’s fair to give that info away here but trust me when I say it’s good stuff.

The second e-book covered potty training. This was the least of my worries. Now dont get me wrong..My little friend did her share of pooping but at this point that was not at the top of my to fix list. It did come in handy down the line.

After about 3 days my packaged arrived and I was elated. When I tore into it I found it included the following:

1. Taming Training Tricks DVD’s volume 1-3
2. 2 Audio Cd’s
3. A Clicker
4. 188pg Platinum training manual.

As you may have noticed I went all out and bought the “expensive” or elite package. The way Chet works it is like this. You pay $47.77 plus shipping up front and that covers the cost of the basic package which is Volume 1 of the DVD, the audio cd’s, and the clicker. Then you get the rest of the materials to try out for no cost for 30 days. If you like them and decide to keep them you are billed $147.00 at the end of that time period. Or you can return the elite portion of the kit no questions asked.

When I first say the price that was going to eventually cost around $200 I had a minor heart palpitation but then I realized that was really nothing if it worked. I also had the comfort knowing if it didn’t work I’d mail it all back to Chet and be out nothing but my time.

As mentioned I had already read through the e-books so some of the methods suggested I had already started on such as their training diet. All this really consists of is figuring out how much food your bird eats on a daily basis and putting him on a schedule. He eats the same amount every day so he certainly does not go hungry but you just control at what time he eats.

As I started to watch the DVD I knew I had found what I was looking for. Chet and Dave made the learning process easy. They went step by step and I watched and took notes. I then would try and implement the same methods with Kiwi. Now saying everything they said worked like a charm would be a lie but that’s not realistic at all. All birds are different and everything isn’t going to work for every bird but I guarantee if you watch these and try them out you’ll find some techniques that work for you.

And as I mentioned in the first part of my review they record their mistakes and aren’t afraid to tell you…hey look what I did…dont do it! This was great!

As you remember one of the things I was adamant about was ongoing support for my questions. Included with this package you got access to their forum called the inner circle. This alone may have been worth the entire cost of the package. They have hired a full time parrot behavior specialist to answer every question asked in that forum. Kim Bear is her name and she’s a fantastic lady and it’s obvious she knows what she’s talking about. She occasionally writes articles that are phenomenal which Chet posts to his blog as free info for his subscribers.

Not only do you get access to that forum but included in the price is a 1/2hr consult with Kim on the phone. Wow! You get her all to yourself to figure out exactly what your bird or yourself is doing wrong in the training process and how to fix it. I personally have not used this yet as I’m saving it for something that I can’t fix by watching or reading the materials I already have. An ace up my sleeve so to speak.

Well I can’t begin to express enough how thankful I am to Chet and Dave for making this bird training DVD for me. Over the next couple weeks I’ll update on my progress and training journey with Kiwi but I suggest if you’re a new bird owner or have had a bird for years and want to greatly stimulate your feathered friend’s mind buy these materials.

Good luck in your training!
