I am honored to share our newest episode of the Precision Animal Training Podcast—an extraordinary conversation with Ken Ramirez.
Ken’s career has spanned zoological training, conservation, education, and decades of mentoring trainers around the world. In this interview, Ken joins Dr. Bob Bailey and me to reflect on the people, ideas, and pivotal experiences that shaped his remarkable journey—including Karen Pryor’s influence and the evolution of clicker training.
Our goal with this podcast is to preserve the oral history of modern animal training while the people who helped build it are still here to tell their stories. These conversations capture more than techniques. They preserve the friendships, lessons, challenges, and moments of discovery behind the science we practice today.
Whether you are an experienced professional or just beginning your training journey, I hope you will listen, share, and help us introduce a new generation of trainers to the people whose work made so much of what we do possible.
