do chet womachs training techniques really work when it comes to training any type of bird?

Neggative or possative-just need an answer to see if I should use his techniques!

I own Chet Womach's Taming Training & Tricks volumes 1-7, with the audio CDs, manual, etc that go with them.

Yes, they are very good (I haven't watched it all yet but I like what I see so far). They show you exactly what to do so there is no confusion or mistranslation if it was just text or something. Plus if you keep to it, you can teach your bird the tricks quite quickly (a few minutes to a few days).
Also heaps of good info about training them to talk with the talking DVDs.

It is for training parrots. That includes budgies, cockatiels, lorikeet, macaws, toos, etc. They wouldn't be suitable for birds like finches or something.

As for the negatives… there is one training method they include in there which you should not use. It is called "flooding" and can possibly damage your parrot emotionally. It involves using sticks to tame down your bird by touching the bird all over with sticks, coming from both directions until the frustrated bird just gives up.
Since making the DVD, Womach has written an article saying how this method is wrong and he has learnt a lot since then.

    I paid for the materials and never got them.

    Use Check Spelling when you ask.
