Operant conditioning works on all organisms with a nervous system,
including
dolphins, humans, and chickens. Bob and Marion Bailey used to go around
the
country running seminars teaching people how to do it using chickens as
the
model. Apparently, if your timing is good enough where you can train a
chicken, you can train anything.

Yes I know. That only proves that Koehler isn't doing operant
conditioning,
which I would be the first to claim in fact.

Every training technique that works is operant conditioning on some level.
It's just how scientifically you choose to use it, and hence what parts you
focus on. Most trainers who have studied operant conditioning focus on
positive reinforcement and negative punishment, whereas Koehler focused on
negative reinforcement and positive punishment. Both ways work, but one way
is more effective no matter what species you are applying it to.
