How We Train

The science of operant conditioning was delineated by the Harvard Psychologist B.F. Skinner in the 1930's. The self evident truths which he uncovered and described are the backbone for all behavioural interactions. Bowmanville Zoo prides itself on bringing the highest levels of training skill sensitivity and humanity to the human animal experience. It is a partnership which began over 10,000 years ago and one which we are proud to continue through the present day.
