Our live-streams are fun, interactive and include demonstrations on animal training, Q&A’s, interviews with other animal professionals, and more.

Lara’s strong focus on training as enrichment has definitely changed my approach in my day-to-day work with my own animals.

Featured Products
Use the some of the same training tools we use when we work with animals here at The Animal Behavior Center.
If you have a deaf dog, angry parrot, or frustrated animal, I recommend contacting Lara at The Animal Behavior Center. Lara is a non-judgmental, start-where-you-are professional. The best way to help an animal you love with issues they have is to work on how you communicate with them; we weren’t all born knowing how to speak sign language or parrot or pig. So please, PLEASE ask a translator for help, if you can’t understand the animals around you. Lara is a translator; it’s her life’s work and clearly what she was put on this earth to do."
