Britta's Animal Training I am a former San Diego Zoo animal trainer. I’ve been training animals for over 25 years. I work with all species of animals.

I’m proud to be a fear free, force free, clicker trainer and behavior consultant.

As a united community, we are committed to ensuring animals are trained and cared for in ways that are fear‑free and force‑free. Together, we strive to eliminate painful, intimidating methods and outdated equipment—practices that, like other relics of the past, no longer belong in modern society.

After I get the behavior, I add the cue. In this case, “touch.”

What I’ve realized over the years is that each animal is different in what they like, whether it comes to training or food, they’re all individuals like us.

I started target training with Chad with the lollipop target but he didn’t really like it or get it. So I tried my hand and he really liked it.

In this video I’m working on hand targeting, him touching his nose to my hand. Hand targeting has lots of applications, but the one that I primarily use it for is Recall— calling an animal to you and having them touch their nose to your hand, meaning, they come straight to you. The nice thing about hand targeting is you always have your hand. 😅

After I teach the behavior, I then add a name to it, called a cue (not a command), and that’ll be in my next video. 😍

U.S. agencies are proactively working to prevent the incursion of New World screwworm in the country. Most recently, they have authorized published the first emergency use authorization (EUA) for the antiparasitic drug Credelio for dogs and prepared a national response plan.

The grand finale! Walking in front of the house. We did it! 🎉🎈🎊

After Chad aced walking in the house, I then raised criteria, walking in the backyard.

Now that I have taught Chad that laying the Klimb on the floor means, “I’d like to work on something,” (start button) and he willingly gets on it (cooperative care), and I worked on building trust and handling him, and he is comfortable, and then fitting the harness, I’m ready to teach him how to walk on the leash which was why I was hired. I start working in a low distraction place first and let him get comfortable with the skill and then raise criteria.
