Join Team Bob Bailey—and help us celebrate Bob’s 90th year!
We’re celebrating Bob turning 90 all year long, and what better way to do it than with an official Team Bob Bailey Jersey?
This jersey is for the trainers who have learned from Bob, trained with him, heard his stories, attended a chicken workshop, studied his work, or simply appreciate the enormous contribution he has made to the science and history of animal training.
Wear it to workshops, seminars, conferences, dog trials, training classes, or wherever animal trainers gather. And yes, it pairs exceptionally well with a chicken.
More than anything, wear it to help us celebrate an extraordinary milestone and the lifetime of curiosity, science, teaching, problem-solving, and humor that got Bob to 90.
Because every great training team needs a jersey.
Join Team Bob. Celebrate 90 years. Keep the legacy moving forward.

Show your support for the Precision Animal Training podcast with this classic, easy-to-wear dad hat.
Whether you train dogs, chickens, cats, horses, or something a little more unusual, this hat is for trainers who are curious about behavior, serious about improving their skills, and never quite finished learning.
Wear it to training classes, trials, workshops, seminars, dog events, or just out and about. It’s a simple way to support the podcast and be part of a community that believes thoughtful, effective training starts with observation, good mechanics, critical thinking, and a willingness to keep asking questions.

A little piece of animal training history you can wear.
This button set celebrates Dr. Bob Bailey, the chickens that became such an important part of his teaching, and a remarkable chapter in the history of modern animal training.
For decades, chickens have helped teach trainers to observe more carefully, improve their timing, sharpen their mechanics, and become better problem-solvers. Bob carried that work forward from Keller and Marian Breland and, years later, became my mentor and passed much of that knowledge on to me.
Today, I’m doing my best to keep those lessons—and that history—alive for the next generation of animal trainers.
Whether you’ve trained with Bob, attended one of Kirsten’s Chicken Workshops, follow Precision Animal Training, or simply appreciate the science and history behind what we do, these buttons are a small and fun way to be part of that story.
Wear them on your hat, jacket, training bag, backpack, or wherever you want to show a little animal-training.
A little history. A little chicken. A whole lot of training.

Train hard. Learn constantly. Represent the craft.
The Precision Animal Training heavyweight long-sleeve tee is for trainers who take their craft seriously and understand that good training comes from good observation, good mechanics, and a willingness to keep learning.
Whether you’re working with dogs, chickens, cats, horses, or something a little more unusual, there is always another skill to improve, another problem to solve, and something new to learn.
With its heavyweight feel and classic long-sleeve style, this shirt is comfortable for cooler training days, workshops, seminars, dog events, barn sessions, or everyday wear.
Wear it because you’re part of a community of trainers who believe that training is a science, skill matters, and none of us is ever finished learning.

For the trainer who knows that sometimes the hardest part of training is simply doing something.
This shirt features one of Bob Bailey’s memorable training sayings and a lesson that has stuck with generations of trainers: observe, think, make a decision—and then do something.
We can analyze, plan, discuss, and rethink a training problem all day long, but eventually we have to put our hands on the table and train.
Whether you train dogs, chickens, cats, horses, or just about anything else, this shirt is for trainers who appreciate good mechanics, thoughtful training, and a little Bob Bailey humor.
Perfect for training sessions, workshops, seminars, dog events, or everyday wear.
Because, as Bob would say:
“Standing around with your teeth in your mouth isn’t going to train the behavior.”

If you’ve spent enough time training chickens, you already know: you can have a great training plan, good mechanics, and years of experience…and still get humbled by a three-pound bird.

For the animal trainer who knows that just because you can get the behavior doesn’t mean it should take you forever to get there.
Bob Bailey famously said, “Any trainer can get any behavior using any method, given enough time.”
My response?
So why not be faster?
This shirt is a little bit of Bob, a little bit of me, and a whole lot of what we teach at Kirsten’s Chicken Workshops: training is a science, mechanics matter, and better skills make us more efficient trainers.
Whether you train dogs, chickens, cats, horses, or something a little more unusual, wear it as a reminder that getting the behavior is only part of the challenge.
How clearly did you communicate? How good were your mechanics? How efficiently did you get there?
Train better. Get there faster. Why not?

That awkward moment when your timing was just a little off…
The click happened.
The treat happened.
The behavior? We think that happened, too.
Just…not necessarily at the same time.
This pullover is for trainers who know that sometimes the difference between “YES! Perfect!” and “Well…that was interesting” is about half a second.
It’s a sarcastic tribute to missed clicks, late reinforcement, questionable timing, and those moments when you confidently move on as though that was exactly what you meant to do.
Because good trainers know that timing matters.
Really good trainers know when they missed it.
And sometimes you just have to look at your training partner and ask…
Did you feel that?

For trainers who know that what we think a signal means and what the animal actually understands aren’t always the same thing.
This tote is for anyone who likes to look a little deeper at what is really happening in training. What is the animal actually responding to? What did we reinforce? What signal did the animal learn—and is it the same one we thought we were teaching?
Carry your training gear, books, treats, notebooks, or everyday essentials while giving other trainers a reason to stop, think, and maybe ask, “Okay…tell me more.”
Perfect for animal trainers, students, competitors, behavior nerds, and anyone who believes good training requires more than knowing what to do. It requires understanding why it works.
Carry your gear. Ask better questions. Keep thinking.

Because in animal training, timing is everything—and when you get it right, it looks really good.
This shirt is a playful nod to one of the most important skills any trainer can develop: delivering reinforcement at exactly the right moment.
Whether you’re building a new behavior, working toward precision, or trying to shave another fraction of a second off your timing, you know that when you reinforce can be just as important as what you reinforce.
Perfect for dog trainers, animal trainers, behavior nerds, students, competitors, and anyone who understands that the difference between almost and nailed it can come down to a fraction of a second.
Good timing takes observation, practice, and a whole lot of repetitions. When you finally get it right, it feels pretty darn good.
Train with purpose. Train with precision. Make your timing look good.
