Lesson 1 – The Secret about Feng Shui and Animal Training.

This video is about Feng Shui and Animal Training. You have probably heard of this term in relation to interior design. It often refers to how you might set up one of your living/working spaces. But have you heard about it with relation to Animal Training?

Feng Shui is a Chinese philosophy that promotes setting up your environment in a way that promotes its use. It’s believed that by proper environmental arrangement you can make spaces more comfortable. Feng Shui is also said to improve physical and mental health. Relationships are additionally believed to improve with good Feng Shui. Ultimately by improving all of the above, this helps lead to success. How can we therefore implement these principles with your Animal Training?

Feng Shui is important when setting up your animals environments.
You should endeavor to set Animals environments up in a way that makes desirable behaviors easier to perform. Furthermore we need to make desirable behaviors more reinforcing than undesirable behaviors.

We make it easier for our animals to do what we want. We pair correct behavior with positive reinforcement. This combination helps us empower our Animals in a positive way. In my experience, this is one of the most robust methods to achieve success. Correct environment arrangement and positive reinforcement Animal Training augment high animal welfare.

Watch the video (top of the screen) to learn more about Feng Shui and Animal Training. The Video has an example of good and bad Feng Shui in action with Molly the Morepork.

The first thing you should do before any training project is examine your environmental arrangement. Ensure that your animal can move freely within the environment. Make sure that there’s nothing unsafe in the environment. Make sure that the behaviour you are asking for is able to be performed easily. Check for unstable surfaces. Make sure there is enough freedom for movement. You and your animal should be able to move freely in the training space.

Once you have good Feng Shui You are ready to start your training.
