Training animals for research

Training animals for research involves teaching them specific behaviors or responses to assist in scientific studies, often to ensure accurate and reliable results. This process uses positive reinforcement, such as treats or praise, to encourage desired actions. Well-trained animals can perform tasks or stay comfortable during procedures, reducing stress and improving welfare. This approach aims to balance the needs of scientific inquiry with ethical considerations, ensuring that animals are treated respectfully and their well-being is prioritized throughout the research process.
