Sound on! If you think these well-trained meerkats are quite impressive, check out what else you can learn from Global Online Animal Training Summit presenter Jim Mackie from The Zoological Society of London. His topic is as follows: “Training from A to Z” - From arapaima to zebra, training is for everyone at the Zoo! These days most good Zoos have training programmes, but not all species experience the benefits. Marine mammals, large carnivores and great apes have a long history of training for improved welfare in zoos, but the less traditional species such as nocturnal mammals, reptiles, fish, and breeding programme birds often miss out. This presentation demonstrates how promoting inclusivity in our animal training programmes can transform the way we care for all kinds of animals in Zoos and aquaria. Using examples from across the taxonomic groups, we will explore the diverse ways in which Zoo animal caregivers are replacing traditional methods of husbandry and medical care, such as manual restraint, with a co-operative and progressive approach to animal care, and provide evidence into how this change is having a positive impact on Zoo animal welfare, whatever the animal.

Not getting the results you want? Training just like any professional skill is a combination of education and practical application. When I am on-site I get to give advice in the moment so we get results pretty quick. Just a few tweaks to our strategy and you can see these meerkats have switched from following people to paying attention to the sound of the whistle. Now we can start working on teaching recall to different areas, including into the back-holding area. #meerkat #meerkatrecall #meerkattraining #recalltraining I’ve got lots of great video examples and step by step instructions in my online education program at www.AnimalTrainingFundamentals.com to help training enthusiasts get desired results.
