Operant Conditioning With Raindance the Bobcat

Susan, a volunteer from Big Cat Rescue, does operant conditioning with Raindance, the bobcat!

Big Cat Rescue does operant conditioning for many reasons. One is so the cats can be examined by the vet without being sedated. Sedation is very dangerous when putting big cats under.

With operant conditioning, if a vet wants to see the animals stomach, all they have to do is say "up". It's very helpful and is also fun for the cats!
