Precision Animal Training

by Kirsten Kraljevic

Precision Animal Training is the podcast diving deep into the science and precision of animal behavior modification, hosted by expert trainer Kirsten Kraljevic and pioneering behaviorist Dr. Bob Bailey. Rooted in the legendary Bailey chicken workshops—developed by Bob and Marian Bailey using operant conditioning, positive reinforcement, stimulus control, and razor-sharp timing—this show delivers practical insights on observation, data collection, mechanical skills, and effective training techniques for any species. Through engaging stories, historical lessons from marine mammal programs to chicken camps, and actionable discussions, it empowers trainers of dogs, birds, exotics, and beyond while highlighting how these principles enhance human learning, leadership, communication, and personal development. Ideal for beginners building curiosity-driven skills or seasoned professionals honing precision and timing, Precision Animal Training offers evidence-based wisdom, inspiration, and lifelong learning—proving that mastering training fundamentals, even with a chicken, can transform the way you shape behavior forever.
