Chapter 352: Daily training

After the breeders were familiar with the daily operation procedures and received training in behavior training, the animals also adapted to the environmental life of Linhai Zoo and gradually began to do real behavior training.

More than just blowing a whistle, you know that you will come and eat something like this.

Tiger Pavilion.

In the back shed, Xiao Bao held a goal stick with a bright orange ball on the top, and a meat box was tied to the belt on his back.

With the box in front, the tiger was distracted when looking at the meat, and he couldn't pay attention to what the breeder was doing. If the meat was dangling in front of his eyes, he wouldn't give it to himself when he saw the meat.

"Jiaojiao~"

Xiao Bao kindly called Jiaojiao's name.

Jiaojiao lay down in the cage, lazily opened her eyelids, and glanced at him.

Meng Shi stayed on the side of the training cage, avoided Jiaojiao's frontal gaze, and watched carefully!

Fang Ye is usually accompanied by him, and he often sees the tiger. The more times he sees it, the tiger is not so wary of him.

Now he got his wish and became a keeper of the tiger house.

Although Jiaojiao was not so wary of him, she still didn't have a good face and would yell when she saw him.

"Come, eat meat, eat meat!"

The small bag took out a piece of meat, clamped it with a wooden clamp, and sent it to the railing.

The reason for not using your hands is simple. Although the railings of this training cage are tight and the tiger's claws cannot be stretched out, what should you do if you bite your hands with your hands.

Wooden clamps are used because they will not harm the tiger. Iron clamps are the most commonly used, but when the tiger bites down, it may damage the teeth or injure the mouth.

Fang Ye has obtained the knowledge of "Animal Behavior Management" in the lottery, which has more details than general zoo training operations, and has been mentioned in the training of the breeders.

When Jiaojiao saw the meat, she became more energetic, got up and walked two steps before coming over to eat it.

One or two pieces of meat were not enough to fill the gap between the teeth, so I ate it in one bite.

In front of the railing, I looked at Xiao Bao quietly.

Xiao Bao nodded Jiaojiao's mouth with the target stick, and at the same time quickly pressed the clicker, making a clear "click" sound.

The sound of "click" echoed in the training cage, shocking Jiaojiao!

He stood up straight and looked a little wary, but when he saw a piece of meat in the bag, he quickly ate it.

The "click" sound of the clicker is unique. If it is used to say "good job" and other compliments, different breeders have different accents, and there may be dialects, which will confuse the animals.

The click sound of the clicker is a unified calibration signal, which can reduce animal confusion and shorten the learning time.

In this way, the target was a little bit more charming, and at the same time he made a "click", and then fed a piece of meat.

Jiaojiao kept eating meat!

After doing a round of 10 times, Xiao Bao watched Jiaojiao's performance well and thought to himself: "Would you like to try to go further?"

Put the target stick on Jiaojiao's head slightly upward.

The purpose of this in the beginning was to make the animal associate the target stick with the food.

The next step is to move the target stick a few centimeters away. If the animal actively touches the target stick after thinking, it will make a "click" immediately when it touches it, it means it's done right!

If you do it right, you will be rewarded with food.

Jiaojiao looked at him, her eyes became a little uncomfortable.

She is very smart!

I immediately understood the meaning of the goal stick.

But the little breeder, with such a little food, actually wants to direct himself?

Instead, he walked far away and got down.

Rebellious!

Xiao Bao was a little flustered: "Eh, Jiaojiao, don't go! Let's consolidate the results of the previous step!"

Anyway, Jiaojiao just closed her eyes and went to sleep, and didn't want to pay attention to him.

"Hey, I'm a bit eager for quick success."

Xiao Bao felt depressed and scratched his head.

However, he also knows that when animals are trained at the beginning, various problems will arise.

You can only cultivate tacit understanding patiently.

The process of training is also a process of building trust.

...

In fact, the tiger's training has been very smooth!

In the backyard of the lion hall, Xiao Li is also training the lions.

When Qi Qi started training, he couldn't appreciate the small piece of meat that Xiao Li took out.

After eating the meat, he glared with anger, slapped the railing with his paw angrily, and roared loudly: "Roar!"

NMD, what is this! I usually eat large pieces of meat, how dare you give me such a small piece of meat! Teasing me?

Very emotional.

The first step can't go on.

Change to Kaka.

Kaka had just eaten a few pieces of meat, looked at the target stick in Xiao Li's hand, listened to the "click" sound, and suddenly retched.

Xiao Li was in a daze, why did he vomit suddenly? Is there a problem with the meat?

Impossible, this is the meat purchased just a few days ago.

Even if it deteriorates, the lion can eat a little bit of decay.

With a "click", Kaka retched again, and then suddenly started to shit! Pulled a tuft of stool on the ground.

An expression of disgust.

"Ah this..."

Xiao Li can see it, Kaka just wants to eat meat, not to do training!

He was very disgusted by training himself, and expressed his dissatisfaction with vomiting and defecation.

Xiao Li wanted to sigh, but Fang Ye's speech emerged in his mind: "The process of animal training is not going to be smooth sailing. Animals do not complete the expected behavior. No matter what the reason is, the breeder should not be depressed, discouraged, let alone Vent your emotions on the animals."

He calmed down and said with a smile: "Kaka, you are so disgusted, let's not train today. Adjust the state and come back tomorrow."

Lions and tigers, these beasts, are the ones that need training the most, and they are more difficult to train.

A large number of macaques also need training, but the method is different.

Individual training like this is too much trouble What is needed is the deterrence of the breeder.

Lu Jiamu has many years of experience in raising and caring for macaques. Although these new macaques are completely unfamiliar to the breeder, after contacting them for a week or two, he realized that he is not an easy person.

When Lu Jiamu feeds food, fighting and fighting will also go to the outskirts. He scolds him, then he screams.

When the apprentices of Lu Jiamu came into contact with the macaques, they would be teased by them.

Asked puzzled and got a very simple answer: "Aura!"

"Aura?"

"That's right, the eyes and facial expressions you look at with the macaques, the posture you walk, the tone and voice you talk to them all together are your aura. Macaques are very clever animals, and they know that you are pretending. Have confidence or really have confidence."

The apprentices can only sigh that the realm of the master is too advanced!

If you want to have the realm of a master, you may have to raise macaques for several years.
