Training and enrichment: keeping zoo animals busy and healthy, sentence 3

Training uses rewards, never force: the keeper clicks a clicker at the exact moment the animal does the right thing, then gives a treat, just as you might teach a dog to sit.

Who acts: Training, keeper, animal, you · What happens: use, click, do, give, teach, sit · To what, where: rewards, clicker, right thing, treat, dog
