AAI FARM ANIMALS

My love Farms Animals in AAI-Slovakia

Hi my name is Summer I am autistic.

I want to share how chickens changed my life.

I could not imagine life without chickens.

Chickens helped me embrace my true self, build resilience and self-confidence, chickens gave me the strength to stand out.

Last weekend we have had a chicken party ;) So

me chickens even put on their caps :D

In 2019 ICofA visited the farm Guat leb'n to see how they train their animals with positive reinforcement.

We want to shear 3 videos form this visit.

Have you tried out target stick training with one of your farm animals?

Teaching pigs a trick like targeting — where they not only learn to touch their noses to the target stick, but also to follow it, has many benefits.

The training can help pigs be more focused and confident. It can teach them important life skills and It’s a good relationship building tool that builds trust between a pig and trainer.

Targeting can also help to alleviate behavioral issues by channeling the pigs’ energy, teaching them boundaries and providing them with enrichment and mental stimulation.
