About Gaby Dufresne-Cyr
I have been an animal trainer for 35 years and have taught animal behaviour for over 10 years. I also taught animal-assisted therapy at La Pocatiere college. I can honestly say I love every minute of it. My specialties are inter-species communication, social cognitive learning theory, attachment, advanced problem-solving skills, and exotic animal husbandry training.
The conferences, seminars, and workshops I give are filled with theoretical and practical information. I like to demonstrate, give examples, and mimic behaviour if necessary. Each event is adapted to satisfy your particular needs; therefore, these events can last from a few hours to a weekend. I can adapt my schedule to satisfy your needs.
The conference, seminar, or workshop choice will depend on your outcome expectations and requirements. The subjects most often covered are listed below in alphabetic order. Should you have other topics in mind or wish to combine topics, no problem; I can create a specific program for your event.
If you wish to organize an event, send your inquiries to Gaby.
