user
Animals can be trained for entertainment purposes through positive reinforcement such as food rewards, negative reinforcement such as withdrawal of unpleasant stimuli, punishment such as physical corrections or avoidance tactics, or even captive bred behavior such in sea parks. Training techniques must be individualized based on the particular animal's learning style and personalities to make it both comfortable and exciting.
