Quotes

“Only a few meters away, the huge black backs and fins of two killer whales slid through the clear blue water. Their beautiful bodies radiated calm and serenity, but at the same time also the promise of explosive power. [...] "Yes. We highlight the positive and not the negative. We pay close attention to this when the animal does what we want of it and does its job well - and we make sure that the whale notices this too. «[...]» The more attention you pay to a certain behavior the more often it is repeated. We have learned the following from the killer whales: If we pay little attention to their mistakes , but much attention to their good performances , then the number of their good performances increases. ""
