Ted Turner
| Ted Turner is a celebrated behaviorist and popular speaker.He has a diverse animal background with 20 years of experience in applying learning principles to various species of animals including |
| birds of prey, parrots, terrestrial and aquatic mammals, and has trained animals for TV, movies and commericals. He is an active researcher and presents information and data on animal learning to various organizations. He has been a requested speaker for Universities and museums and conducts seminars when his animal commitments allow. Ted developed a training philosophy based on behavior modification science after receiving his degree in psychology from the University of Central Florida.
His approach to training combines a pro-active schedule of behavior shaping with the use of positive reinforcement and applied learning principles, and he says "Most trainers eventually
|
 |
| find themselves in the trap of constantly correcting problems, but with a slight adjustment most problems can be prevented altogether."
