Training is a mechanical skill
Bob Bailey
Dr. Robert E. (Bob) Bailey calls himself a systems analyst/engineer. He has 68 years of experience studying and training animals. His academic background is in Physics, Chemistry, Biology, and Engineering. Dr. Bailey designed and built specialized devices, he planned behavior training programs, he taught animal trainers, and he trained animals.
His primary mentors were Keller and Marian Breland (later, Marian Bailey), who were students of B. F. Skinner. The Brelands and Baileys demonstrated that animal training can be a technology if practitioners are willing to practice certain principles and procedures based on the science of how animals, and we, learn.
