"I would
like to take a minute of your time to tell you the
importance of this web site and the training that
Lisa offers, if you are going to buy a monkey or as
I did bought one and then was left all on my own to
figure out how to raise her correctly be advised
there is no books out there to tell you how to raise
a capuchin, I have searched and search. the lady who
sold her to me will not return phone calls or
e-mails. so I looked and looked for help, finding
this web site was a God send! I signed up 2 weeks ago and have
learned so very much about my baby and how and what
to fed her and when, also the trick to no more
cutting diapers :) after Lisa's tips and proper
nutrition my baby has become so much more active and
has stopped biting and even loves her baths. The
best thing you can ever do for yourself and your
baby or even a grown monkey is hook up with Lisa,
you will not only find a wealth of knowledge but
even better a good friend." ~Christy

*Did you know that Lisa not
only is a trainer, she saved my primates life!
I had called Lisa about my male capuchin, he had a
reaction to something. I had noticed his
breathing was not normal and I didn't know what to
do. I am 5 hours away to our vet. I
called Lisa and she was awesome and professional.
She guided me to everything I needed to do besides
calming me down so I could help Dexter. Lisa saved
Dexter, I would of never made it to the vet.
Every day I thank this wonderful lady, her knowledge
of primates is outstanding, more then any vet I have
encountered. I'm glad to have her, specially
in an emergency. Lisa never receives the
credit of what she really does. Thank you
Lisa!
Proven on HGTV, Animal Planet and National
Geographic,
New Primate owners are e-mailing everyday wanting to know
how to receive training.
Remember, these primates are NOT pets, they are companions
for life. Each and every technique that you have seen in my shows does
not work for every monkey. If you use any techniques
on your monkey you could destroy any connection you have had
with your primate. No monkey is the same, so I
provide a world of techniques to make sure you have a great
companion for life! No monkey needs to sit in a cage,
if you have a juvenile that has become aggressive to a 18
year old, it is NEVER too late! I change the lives of
many primates as well as taking away the fear they have put
upon their owners. It's not the monkeys fault, the owners
are whom need to be trained. To be able to love your primate
once again is the ultimate responsibility in becoming an
owner!
My conversations with so many people have
shown me there is a real need to offer Skype Training programs.
Skype is a FREE program designed to engage in LIVE
communication, if you have a primate and live in Japan, UK,
South African, India, Panama, or any other international or
domestic area you can receive the help you need.
People acquiring new primates need guidance on Taming and
Training, plus nutritional needs for their primates from
infant into adulthood. Nutrition is VERY important and plays
an important role in their lives and behavior. Too many primates are NOT
receiving proper nutrition and the causes of death are very
known. I also see too many monkeys destroying the house and
not behaving the way they should in captivity. It isn't the
monkeys fault, it's the care takers. They don't know how to
properly tame and train these guys and think that by
spoiling them at this young age and not providing a balance
of taming and training these monkeys need, these monkeys as
they grow and develop into adult hood become tough to deal
with, biting, and uncontrollable behavior. Don't blame
yourself.. There isn't a book YET to teach you just how to
have a great companion. Even if there was a book, what could
you possibly learn from a book? Every monkey is very
different, so the techniques used on your friends monkey is
NOT going to work for yours. If a person whom is
qualified personally speaks with you and helps guide you,
wouldn't you learn? Sure you would. With the amount of
e-mails I receive in asking for help I decided to offer
educational guidance in all aspects of primate care and
behavioral modification. I personally have been Certified to
train
Capuchins as well as all types of primates for over 20 plus years. Just because my
experience is high in Capuchins doesn't mean if you have a
Marmoset, Macaque, Spider, Guenon, Tamarin, you can't join.
INFANT CARE PROGRAMS:
Infants are my main goal since they are so fragile and need
the proper nutrition and attention. What you do and how you
tame and train at the beginning of this infants life is the
key factor of having the best behaved primate for the next
30 to 40 years of your life! It is so important primate
owners received hands on help from day one from the
breeder/broker they receive their primate from. Many
breeders/brokers don't give you the proper help to get you
started. They are mostly only interested in the money. I offer The infant care Program, and
will strive to make sure you know everything to get you
started. In this Program I teach you what you must know in
behavioral modification, Taming and Training your monkey.
Bathing, Nutritional, Vet Care and proper techniques to have
a well behaved monkey. The Infant Care program is designed
for a complete year to Juvenile stage. The programs are held
one on one via-Skype. I don't believe anyone can learn from
e-mailing each other and I know I don't have the time it
personally takes to sit and write, plus many of the dial ups
are difficult for you to even receive your mail properly. I
offer every few days a week, except sat or sun to personally
Skype you, I learn about your monkey and you learn what you
need to properly do to have a great companion.
Juvenile Care Program:
Any Juvenile can be tame and trained. Just
because they are older and set in their ways doesn't mean
they can't be good. I have taken many Juveniles and changed the way they live their lives in their
households. Never say, they can't change. With the proper
techniques and changed housing and diet, many see a huge
change. The biggest problem is owners do not start taming
and training when they are infants, and the biting starts,
plus many behavioral problems, attacking others, plus other
issues which are involved with juveniles. If I can take
Juvenile monkeys and make them great
companions, so can you. Juveniles do take more
time and effort, but what you see in just starting my
Behavioral Modification class in this stage will pay off in
the end. Many care-takers at this point have gotten bit and
even gotten scared at this point as the monkeys control
them. They rank higher then their care-takers. It can be
changed. The Behavioral Modification class is a one year
development class one on one a few times every week. I say one year
because we have to take this monkey and start from the very
beginning and fix everything that went wrong from infant
stage.
Adult Training Program: Personal One on One Many people have monkeys which are locked up in cages
because they have been bitten and now they have become
afraid of their monkeys. Many primates live their
lives between bars, this is not how they should live.
Never say they are broken, it is the people that do not know
how to tame and train them, it is not the monkeys fault.
When you have lost all hope, never think it can't be fixed.
I offer a One on One personal Training, which I come to you.
For 5 to 7 full days I will fix all situations so you can
have the primate you once had. It's never too late for
your monkeys to love you, and trust you. NOTE: Please contact
me personally.
Adopting a Unwanted or Older Primate
Adopting a unwanted or older Primate is a major concern and
many owners need extra help in this field. Too many people
adopt an unwanted or older primate not knowing what they
have gotten themselves into. It can even be a dangerous
decision for a first time monkey parent. Before making this
decision just because you want a cheap monkey, you may end
up with the worst decision you ever could of made. Anybody
can raise a baby, it's raising a juvenile or a adult. You
have no idea what the life of that monkey has had nor do you
know why they are really trying to find a new home for that
monkey. It take a very experienced individual to take on a
un-wanted monkey. Also many people have gotten bitten
seriously and now their adult monkeys are between bars,
never think this can not be changed. I can seriously
change the way you and your monkey lives.
I would like to introduce myself, my
name is Sean and I have always wanted a monkey. I found a 5
yr old White-Throated male capuchin named Shalad. I tried
everything to get him to come to, he ate my hands all up,
scratches all over my arms, and wrists, where I had to wear
ace bandages all over my arms and hands. I was hesitant
e-mailing Lisa, and was not sure if she could help me or
not. I flew her to my home to show me what I was
doing wrong. From the moment she entered into my home my
monkey Shalad was glued to her, she had a way that I have
never seen with these monkeys and went right up to the cage
and touched my wild monkey. Nobody else could do it. She
definitely has a way and connection with these monkeys. She
watched as Shalad went for me and what I go through the
entire day, then the next day she started our session, this was not
the same monkey. I was able for the first time to properly
hold my monkey, love on him, give him a bath and put diaper
on him. Lisa stayed around for 5 days giving me the
whole routine of what I needed to do and this women has
changed our lives forever. Nothing has changed since she
left a year ago, and I now have a great companion for the
rest of my life. I can't thank you enough for all you have
done for my family. She is the "Monkey Whisperer, and I would do it again.
Thanks Lisa. Sean Bortz & Shalad
