Only people who love them, who have great patience and perseverance, are able to train animals to execute different commands. Almost all animals can be trained. But the tiger is not a domestic cat, so real professionals should work with it.
Instructions
Step 1
The majestic striped predators are second only to brown and polar bears in size. Tigers respond well to training, although their brains are small. But it is always necessary to keep in mind that these animals are representatives of the wild, where hunting, the struggle for superiority over other predators and the protection of their own territory are natural instincts.
Step 2
Spectacular performances with the participation of ferocious representatives of the animal world are certainly the most dangerous. Few people dare to enter a cage with tigers or lions, put their heads in the jaws of these huge animals. Trainers must be extremely careful, it is no coincidence that people who train these unpredictable animals in behavior are called tamers.
Step 3
People working with these animals can tell how to teach tigers to perform different commands. For example, the famous Samara trainer, People's Artist of Russia Nikolai Pavlenko is "subordinate" to fourteen "wards". His commands striped artists perform unquestioningly. According to the tamer, it is more difficult to train small dogs than huge tigers: cunning kids constantly strive to deceive, not follow the command, and predators can always be predicted. Tigers are able to perfectly perform numbers, even if they are trained once a week.
Step 4
Formidable animals from the very birth are under the supervision of Nikolai Pavlenko. He bottle-feeds them, educates and educates them, but never strokes. The trainer understands that no amount of weasel will make aggressive wild animals tame, so his main task is to find the right approach to them. Mutual respect should exist between a man and a tiger, the concept of "friendship" is simply incomprehensible to predators.
Step 5
According to the circus performer, interest in tricks with tigers is shown only when the animals seem aggressive. Pavlenko had a tame tiger, but his brothers were hostile to him, the gentleness of his character deprived the pet of the opportunity to stand up for itself. This "domestic cat" was looked after, but not forced to work. For performance in the arena, a tamed predator is simply not suitable. N. Pavlenko refused the tigers that appeared to him very rarely, only in cases when they could not be taught to hear the commands.
Step 6
The trainer treats his huge cats warmly, communicates kindly with them when they meet. Before performing in the circus arena, only Nikolai Pavlenko himself enters the cage, and his assistant feeds the formidable animals with fresh meat, milk and eggs.
Step 7
The artist knows very well the character of each of his striped pet, the tricks for the performances are selected by him specially "to the liking" of the predators. N. Pavlenko admits that he had to force his charges to perform actions that they are incapable of. But after an unsuccessful rehearsal with a tiger that fell during a jump and was seriously injured, the trainer is very attentive to the choice of suitable tricks.
Step 8
The tamer in the arena is the leader among the predators who are waiting for the command to act from their places. The iron stick is the main means by which the trainer gives his angry performers all kinds of directions. Nikolai Pavlenko, working in a cage, does not see anyone except his striped pets, he predicts their behavior in advance. And you need to be on the alert all the time. Many people are scared to imagine themselves in such a place: aggressively growling tigers are moving towards them on their hind legs, and behind them there are a dozen predators, ready to rush at a person at any moment.
Step 9
The famous trainer keeps the situation in the cage under control, easily commands angry artists. He treats meat from his long stick to tigers who perform well at tricks. But a fight breaks out between the animals. The blow of the iron training pointer on the stage makes menacingly growling angry animals obediently disperse to their places. Nikolai Pavlenko says that predators feel the fear of a person, so a real tamer must be brave.
Step 10
Only professional trainers with sufficient physical strength and courage can train the ferocious representatives of the wild. It is important to ensure that predators accept humans as the "leader of the pack", otherwise they will not fulfill the requirements.
Step 11
A true tamer seeks to suppress the aggressiveness inherent in tigers. Affectionate treatment of animals is of great importance here. Even if you have to use force during training, the impact on animals should not be cruel. Violence and intimidation will not bring the desired results, on the contrary, animals that do not know how to forgive brute force will try to take revenge on the offenders.
Step 12
Some people think that training is based on the instinctive feeling of hunger of animals. Edgard Zapashny, an artist from the family circus dynasty, considers this opinion out of date and incorrect. On the contrary, a harsh punishment is applied to trainers who use this method in their practice - a ban on working with animals. The principle of "carrot and carrot" is viewed from the other side: good work of the wards is encouraged with a piece of meat, and blows of a whip or stick express a person's dissatisfaction with the actions of four-legged artists.
Step 13
Any tamer needs to think in a timely manner about protection from the unexpected anger of his charges. Trainers use long metal sticks in their work, which indicate to animals a certain order of their actions, and when they show aggression, they can be used as a means of protection. A metal curbstone raised in front of itself will also prevent the beast from reaching the tamer. The predators who have come out of obedience are returned to order with the help of fire cannons, calming the "violators" with a strong pressure of water. People with fire hoses seem to fierce cats more terrifying than a man with a gun.
