Overview of Careers in Animal Training Family Area: Printer friendly page What's it like? Where they work Getting ahead ... Other animal trainers WHAT'S IT LIKE? Animal trainers teach animals to do everything from simple things like sitting down on command to complicated things like teaching guide dogs to disobey their blind owners when the command would put them in danger, or teaching a bird to perform a multi-stepped trick in front of a live audience. They use a whole variety of techniques and strategies to teach these actions, the simplest of which is rewarding performance with food or praise. A trainer's goals and working environment depend on the type of animal with which the trainer works and the purpose of the training. For example, a trainer who works with dolphins spends a good part of the work day in the water and at least part of the week performing for an audience. A guard dog trainer, on the other hand, may never perform in front of the audience. Instead, this trainer's day might involve working outside on a training field or taking the dog to the supermarket to get used to public places. But trainers do share certain skills, characteristics, and tasks. All trainers must genuinely like working with animals and be good at communicating with their animals. They must be incredibly patient and able to maintain their composure and think clearly no matter what happens, and with animals like tigers, elephants, or even horses, doing so may be literally a matter of life and death. Most training jobs also require physical labor, since trainers do animal upkeep, including cleaning cages or stables and feeding, grooming, and transporting.

25. Vicki Hearne In the early 80s she began to write about animal training, and the kinds of linguisticand philosophical puzzles that such work seemed to her to involve. http://www.goodbyemag.com/jul01/hearne.html

Vicki Hearne, Animal Trainer and Philosopher By Elizabeth Hollander We usually think of people who like animals as being nice, but niceness, with all its connotations of easy, low-stakes, indulgent behavior, is probably the human attribute Vicki Hearne least respected, especially in relation to animals. Most of the time she thought it downright damaging: “It is usually a diet of syrup, bribery, and choked rhetoric, rather than physical abuse, that creates character disorders such as viciousness and megalomania in a dog,” she wrote. “Biting is a response to incoherent authority.” This kind of writing earned Hearne a reputation among her detractors as a harsh trainer (undeserved) and a hothead (an understatement). Vicki Hearne was not nice, and she was certainly not tactful, but she was a uniquely gifted person – one who could both do something – and then talk about doing it, with equal authority, imagination, passion, and rigor. Victoria Elizabeth Hearne was born and reared in Texas, majored in English at the University of California at Riverside, and spent fifteen years in California as a horse and dog trainer and poet. In the early 80s she began to write about animal training, and the kinds of linguistic and philosophical puzzles that such work seemed to her to involve. In her most important work, Adam’s Task: Calling Animals by Name (1986), she attempted to account for the “highly anthropomorphic, morally loaded language” used by most trainers to talk about animals. She brought to bear her considerable academic experience in philosophy, linguistics, and behavioral psychology, disciplines that tabooed ascribing to animals the sorts of moral and intellectual capacities that animal trainers take for granted. In the end Hearn rejected the methods of philosophers and behaviorists; her ideas about training were greatly enlarged by science, linguistics, and most importantly literature.

As a wellness counselor, I primarily work with people but as an animal lover and one who respects the many gifts our non-human friends bring us, I have often also found myself called to help them during times of imbalance or pain. My approach is two-fold when asked to work with an animal. Of course, I am working to help the beloved pet to regain health and vitality. I have found that three products, above all others, work in the broadest range of conditions and levels of imbalance, pain, and health challenges with animals. They are Intrasound Neutralizer II and Willard Water . In addition to holistic suggestions for helping the animal to heal, I apply energy work and sometimes work in dreamtime with the animal. However, this is not what I consider the most important part of the work. What is even more vital in most cases, unless the animal is dangerously ill, is to bring awareness to the human friend and steward of that animal the fact that no injury or disease is random. If you pet is sick or hurt, there is a spiritual adjustment being made on your behalf and if you want to honor the "medicine", part of the healing involves learning what the imbalance was that required the sacrifice so freely given. This approach is certainly not for everyone. If it resonates, please read the two stories below which are personal experiences, and you can begin to understand the process:

Wild Animal Training Immunosuppression / Immunocompromise (impaired immune system):  This can be congenital or caused by HIV/AIDS or other diseases, cortisone or other medications, chemotherapy, radiation, etc.  Certain animal exposures and zoonoses can be very serious (or sometimes fatal) for persons with reduced immunity to disease If you suspect your immune system may be abnormal, seek immediate medical attention for diagnosis, treatment and determination as to whether or not animal exposure is safe for you. Wild Animal Exposures and Rabies Rabid or diseased wild animals often show changes in behavior, becoming either docile, vicious, or unafraid of humans.  Normally-nocturnal animals that are out in the daytime OR domestic free-ranging pets behaving strangely may be rabid.  If sighted, try to “distance” yourself from wild animals that appear sick, dying, or exhibiting unusual behavior (but don’t run) and report them to a control agency if a threat to humans.  “University Facilities” Department can be called to remove such animals (skunks, etc.) from Clemson property. Primary reservoirs are foxes, bats, raccoons, skunks.  The Great Horned Owl may shed the virus in its droppings after consuming an infected skunk. Rodents and lagomorphs are unlikely to have rabies.

Laboratory and Classroom Animal Training The following precautions are necessary to protect yourself and your family from disease while working with animals in classes or labs:   Gloves should be worn and hands washed after glove removal. Many zoonoses are spread by fecal-oral contamination.  To prevent this, no eating, drinking, applying cosmetics or contact lenses, or smoking is allowed in areas where animals or their excreta are present.  Lab coats, safety glasses, and other personal protective equipment (as indicated by the nature of the exposure) must be worn to prevent the spread of organisms to you or outside the class or lab (i.e., home to your family).  A normal, healthy adult may have only mild symptoms when infected with a zoonotic disease, but the same organisms can be fatal to infants, the elderly, and those with a weakened or suppressed immune system:   IMPAIRED IMMUNE SYSTEM (Immunosuppression / Immunocompromise):  This can be congenital or caused by HIV/AIDS or other diseases, cortisone or other medications, chemotherapy, radiation, etc.  Certain animal exposures and zoonoses can be very serious (or sometimes fatal) for persons with reduced immunity to disease

38. O R C A _ R E A L M - Animal Training Thus animal training, in some form or another, has been around forsome time. Early training was based upon dominating an animal. http://www.anzwers.org/free/orcarealm/info/training.html

Introduction       The relationship between humans and the animals around them has existed since modern man came into existence. We have had cooperative relationships with various animals from dogs, to raptors, and even dolphins. Although today animals are often used simply as companions, originally most animals were kept by humans in order to serve a purpose. Dogs and raptors aided in hunting, cats helped to keep away pests, pigeons served as messengers, horses served as transportation and draft animals, and so on. Because animals were used to serve a purpose, man began to try to utilize them to their full extent. To do this, man must be able to control the animals that he is working with and have them perform as he requests. Thus animal training, in some form or another, has been around for some time.       Early training was based upon dominating an animal. Men felt that if the animal knew that the person was ‘the boss,’ then the animal would obey them. However, methods for ‘dominating’ the animals were often harsh and likely deteriorated the relationship more than it strengthened it. Even today some trainers emphasize fear-based training, where they intimidate the animal into doing what they want. However, within the last several decades, new methods have been developed.       Today many trainers apply the principals of psychology to modify the behavior of the animals that they work with. The two most common methods applied are

Animal Services Division provides tips to keep "escape artist" pets safe in their own yard. Be sure your dog gets enough exercise. A dog alone in the yard spends most of its time loafing. Energy can buildup and may cause an escape attempt. Give your dog safe toys to pass the time when you are gone. You may wish to make the toys more tempting by filling them with peanut butter or creme cheese. This may help your pet concentrate on the treats in front of him. Instinct and hormones make unaltered dogs roam and breed. Spaying or neutering your pet may help solve escape problems.
