Desensitization training is the most basic within behavior training!

In the wild, the fear of unusual environmental factors is an instinct that ensures the survival of wildlife, as fear allows them to avoid being preyed on by predators, stay away from dangerous environments, and maintain a safe distance from competitors.

However, in captivity, this fear becomes an obstacle in various aspects, such as always staying out of sight of visitors, being unwilling to try enrichment, and preventing veterinarians from having the opportunity for close-up treatment.

Therefore, animal keepers need to use some techniques to train animals to eliminate this excessive and unnecessary fear.
