Animal Trainer's Job description
Some animal trainers work with a large variety of animals. Some examples are, elephants, lions, dolphans, and most zoo like animals. They also train animals like dogs, birds, and horses, which are mostly for competitions or obedience. Dog and monkeys are trained to assist disabled people with everyday tasks. The training could take up to months or even years for the animal to learn. Each species is trained by using the instinct and reward system that is appropriate to that animal. Hunting birds are rewarded with food because they do not like being petted or touched by humans unless they were raised since they were hatchlings. Dogs on the other hand love being petted and loved by their owner. When dogs do something good that the trainers like they would reward the dog with a pat, calm nice voice, and they may give the dogs a treat. Just so it knows it has done a really good job and should continue doing it. When the dog does something bad the trainer will act 'Bigger' by talking in a low stern voice to let the animal know it has done something bad and shouldn't do it again.
