Talking with Pia Silvani about "Reaching the Animal Mind"
By Karen Pryor on 08/12/2009“I just finished listening to the podcast, which I loved. Ms. Silvani asked wonderful questions and Ms. Pryor gave wonderful answers. I especially enjoyed the succinct discussion of why P+ is fraught with problems and R+ is preferable, and the clear explanation of why a non-verbal marker is so effective. What a great "thumbnail sketch" of "Reaching the Animal Mind"! Well done

Milking Camels
By Karen Pryor on 08/03/2009Milking camels…
The Wall Street Journal published an article about a woman who wants to start a camel dairy. Camel milk is a delicacy in some parts of the world and is reputed to have great health benefits.
One of the problems is getting the camels to stand so they can be milked. If they’re not used to it, they don't like it. (Same with cows or any other animal. They have to learn. Usually they get their dinners while they’re being milked. Done deal.)
