Although we each brought one problem dog along, the majority of the training was done with chickens. We successfully trained our chickens to pull a rubber band back as far as it could go. The same techniques were applied when teaching the chickens to pull things across the table.


The most challenging task was reversing stimulus. We had each taught our chickens to peck a certain color spool and to leave the other two alone. We then had to get the chicken to peck a different spool, leaving the original one alone. This was done without any guidance, luring or force.
