Training Your Mate

This article, by journalist Amy Southerland, is an entertaining look at how mates can help each other pick up new constructive behaviors. Could help with learning karezza, too!

... For a book I was writing about a school for exotic animal trainers, I started commuting from Maine to California, where I spent my days watching students do the seemingly impossible: teaching hyenas to pirouette on command, cougars to offer their paws for a nail clipping, and baboons to skateboard.
