		Trainers should treat all animals with respect, be respectful of colleagues and other professionals, and be respectful of clients.
		Whether animal trainers are working for a pet owner or a large agency, confidentiality and the need for trainers to "respect the privacy of clients and hold in confidence all information used in the course of professional services" is an important part of being an ethical trainer.
		Trainers can give clients dignity by giving them strategies and procedures to use with which they can have success with their pet or the animals in their care.

	Animal training - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		An animal trainer will usually use the control of food or other rewards to condition to the animal to respond in a desired way, using the principles of operant conditioning.
		Service animals, such as assistance dogs, are carefully trained to utilize their sensory and social skills to bond with a human and help that person to offset a disability in daily life.
		Animal training is generally performed in adherence to the theory of operant conditioning, although modern training methods frequently utilize tools not included in the original Skinnerian conception.

		Animals are most often trained using rewards: if an animal does what it has been taught to do, it gets a treat or a pat on the head and some affectionate words.
		Animal trainers must be careful to always keep records of animal progress, as well as look after other administrative duties, as well as work closely with the animals.
		Some animal trainers choose to complete a university degree in animal husbandry, zoology, behavioral science, psychology, or veterinary science, as the world of animals is no longer only about obedience and control, but is becoming more and more scientific.

	Animal Behavior, Committees, AAZK
		Many animals are trained to open their mouths for exam and present various body parts to the cage mesh, allowing keepers and veterinarians to examine the animals without using restraint.
		Animals that are participating in a training program can be of great interest to zoo visitors, who are provided with opportunities to learn about the many facets of animal care.
		The benefits to an animal training program can be far reaching – from shifting on and off exhibit to enhancing breeding programs for endangered species, to training animals to assist in their own physical exams, to increasing visitor education and appreciation of the species and their habitats.

	Animal Behaviorist Pet Trainer Discussion
		Many animal behavior consultants are also trainers, but not all; most trainers are not animal behavior consultants.
		As with animal trainers, there are no universally recognized organizations that license or certify behaviorists, (fairly new exceptions are the board certification in the veterinary field and degrees in the field of animal behavior consultants).
		When you are working with a trainer, look for help from someone who does not use force techniques, pain, or archaic tools such as prong/pinch collars, chokes, etc. Animals do not learn well if they are fearful or if the methods are harsh.

	An Animal Trainer's Introduction To Operant and Classical Conditioning Part I
		Many excellent trainers have no formal schooling or organized understanding of how their training is effective or how their charges work.
		More and more trainers - pet owners, show competitors, horseback riders, show-business trainers, zookeepers, aquarium trainers and more - are finding that an understanding of learning theory helps them understand their animals' behaviors better, and plan their training accordingly.
		Classical conditioning is very important to animal trainers, because it is difficult to supply an animal with one of the things it naturally likes (or dislikes) in time for it to be an important consequence of the behavior.

		In each city and town on Ringling's itinerary, animals are forced to participate in a media-oriented "animal parade." The elephants are unchained and unloaded from the boxcars in which they often spend days at a time.
		Oncoming traffic in adjacent lanes is often not stopped, and the animals are trailed by a caravan of police cars and flashing lights, causing an extremely chaotic environment that stresses out these sensitive animals and is light years away from their natural habitat.
		Years ago, before the public learned that elephants and other animals were trained by being beaten into submission, the animal parade was announced in advance and took place during the day, and children were encouraged to watch.
