Animal Socialization

When a dog owner has a pet that is unruly, they can take the canine to a training school, where experienced trainers examine the dog for possible medical problems, and expose him to a consistent training program in which the dog can learn commands and appropriate behavior. But what about an exotic animal? What does an exotic pet owner do when their baby panther, tiger, or bear bites, scratches or otherwise behaves in a way that will become dangerous as they grow up?

Vanishing Species Wildlife's Socialization Program is the answer. At the Vanishing Species facilities, a dedicated team of staff members work with the animal, searching for reasons for the animal's behavior if necessary, and modifying bad habits through positive reinforcement techniques. This saves the exotic pet owner from having to sell or give away their beloved animal, while protecting the animal from the consequences of biting or scratching as an adult.
