Book- Zoomility

Zoomility by Grey Stafford, PhD

What do elephants, killer whales and your family dog all have in common?  Training with Zoomility!  It's been working for animals in zoos and aquariums for years.  And now, you can use it for your own training, with the help of Dr. Grey Stafford.

It's all about the animals...

Training should be about helping animals succeed, not boosting our egos.  That idea is at the core of Zoomility- a combination of humility and Dr. Stafford's years of experience training animals at zoos and other facilities.  Using only positive reinforcement- never punishment- Zoomility outlines steps you can follow to teach your animal calm, cooperative, and complex behaviors that will hold up in any situation.  

Using Zoomility's 3 R's (Request, Response, Reinforce) you'll be able to train any animal, regardless of age, or past behavior issues.  Dr. Stafford includes dozens of "recipes" to guide you through helpful behaviors like sit, stay, and so much more.  And using the techniques you'll learn in Zoomility, you'll be able to create your own recipes to successfully shape any behavior.
