After the breeders were familiar with the daily operation process and received the training of behavior training, the animals were used to the environmental life of Linhai zoo and gradually began to do real behavior training.
More than just blowing a whistle, I knew that I came to eat this kind of thing.
Tiger house.
In the back room, the small bag holds a target stick with a bright orange ball on the top, and a meat box is tied to the belt on the back.
When the box is placed in front, the tiger is distracted when he looks at the meat. He can't notice what the keeper is doing. If the meat swings in front of him and doesn't give it to himself, he will be angry and can't train.
"Jiao Jiao ~"
Xiao Bao affectionately called Jiao Jiao's name.
Jiao Jiao lies down in the cage, lazily raises her eyelids and glances at him.
Meng Shi stayed on the side of the training cage, avoiding Jiao Jiao's front line of sight and watching carefully!
Usually accompanied by Fang ye, he often meets with the tiger. The tiger is not so alert to him when he sees it more often.
Now I have achieved my wish and become a keeper of the tiger house.
Although Jiaojiao is not so alert to him, she still has no good face. She will shout when she sees him.
"Come on, eat meat, eat meat!"
The small bag took out a piece of meat, put it on the wooden clip and sent it to the railing.
The reason why you don't use your hands is very simple. Although the railing of the training cage is tight and the tiger's claws can't stretch out, what if you bite your hand.
Wooden clips are used because they won't hurt the tiger. Iron clips are the most commonly used, but when the tiger bites down, it may hurt his teeth or his mouth.
Fang Ye won the knowledge of "animal behavior management" in the lucky draw, which has more details than the training operation of the general zoo, and has talked about it when training all the keepers.
Jiao Jiao saw the meat and felt refreshed. She got up and took two steps to eat it.
A piece of one or two liang of meat was not enough to fill the teeth. It was eaten in one bite.
In front of the railing, I looked at the bag quietly.
The bag touched her mouth with the target stick, and quickly pressed the buzzer to make a "click" sound.
The sound of "click" echoed in the training cage and startled Jiao Jiao!
He stood up straight and looked alert, but when he saw the small bag, he caught another piece of meat and ate it quickly.
The "click" sound of the sounder is unique. If it is a compliment such as "well done" in language, different breeders have different accents and possibly dialects, which will confuse the animals.
The "click" sound of the sounder is a unified calibration signal, which can reduce the confusion of animals and shorten the learning time.
In this way, the target is good, charming, click at the same time, and then feed a piece of meat.
Jiao Jiao keeps eating meat!
After 10 rounds, Xiaobao looked at Jiao Jiao's good performance and thought, "why don't you try to go further?"
Put the target bar a little higher on Jiao Jiao's head.
At first, the purpose of doing so was to let animals connect the target rod with food.
The next step is to move the target stick slightly to a distance of several centimeters. If the animal actively contacts the target stick after thinking, and immediately "clicks" it, it means it's done right!
If you do it right, you will be rewarded and given food.
Jiao Jiao looked at him and her eyes became a little bad.
She is very clever!
I immediately understood the meaning of goal is great.
But the little breeder, with such a little food, wants to command himself?
Instead, he went far away and lay down.
Treason!
Xiaobao was a little flustered: "Hey, Jiao Jiao, don't go! Let's consolidate the achievements of the previous step! "
Anyway, Jiao Jiao just lies on her stomach and closes her eyes to sleep. She doesn't want to pay attention to him.
"Ah, I'm a little anxious for quick success and instant benefit."
Xiaobao was depressed and scratched his head.
However, he also knows that animals will have all kinds of problems at the beginning of training.
We can only cultivate tacit understanding patiently.
The process of training is also the process of building trust.
……
In fact, the tiger's training has been very smooth!
In the back room of the lion hall, Xiao Li is also training the lion.
Qiqi started training and didn't look at a small piece of meat taken out by Xiao Li at all.
Eating the meat, he opened his eyes angrily, patted the railing with his claws 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! Tease me?
Very excited.
The first step can't go on.
Replace it with a card.
Kaka just started to eat 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 confused for a while. Why did he suddenly vomit? Is there a problem with the meat?
It's impossible. This is the meat I just bought a few days ago.
Even if it goes bad, lions can eat rot a little.
With a click, Kaka retched again, and then suddenly began to shit! Pulled a lump of shit on the ground.
An expression of disgust.
"Ah, this..."
Xiao Li can see that Kaka just wants to eat meat and doesn't want to train!
He was disgusted by his own training and expressed his dissatisfaction with vomiting and defecation.
Xiao Li wanted to sigh, but Fang Ye's speech came to mind: "the process of animal training will not be smooth. No matter what the reason is, the breeder should not be depressed or discouraged, let alone vent his emotions on the animals. "
Calmed down, smiled and said, "Kaka, you are so disgusted that we won't train today. Adjust your state and come back tomorrow. "
Lions and tigers are beasts that need training most, and they are also difficult to train.
A large number of macaques also need training, but in different ways.
Individual training like this is too troublesome. What is needed is the individual deterrence of the breeder.
LV Jiamu has many years of experience in raising and caring for macaques. Although these new macaques are completely strange to the keepers, after a week or two of contact, he learned that he is not a good person.
When LV Jiamu fed food, fighting and looting would also run to the periphery. He scolded and scolded him and counseled him down.
When Lu Jiamu's disciples come into contact with macaques, they will be teased by them.
Puzzled, he got a very simple answer: "gas field!"
"Gas field?"
"Yes, the eyes and facial expressions you look at with macaques, the posture you walk, the tone and voice you talk to them are your aura. Macaques are very clever animals. They know whether you pretend to have confidence or really have confidence. "
The disciples can only sigh that the master's realm is too profound!
If you want to have a master, you may have to raise macaques for a few years.
