Feeding sessions are structured training.

Think “fitness + healthcare + enrichment” wrapped into a short show.

Cues & Goals

  • Target touches for checks.
  • Spins and leaps for fitness.
  • Calm holds for veterinary exams.
  • Stationing behaviors for closer inspection.

Reading Behavior

  • Whisker quivers and head turns toward trainers = engagement.
  • Synchronized circling = group coordination.
  • Big splashes at the finale = reset and crowd delight.

Watch for positive reinforcement — it’s science and care in motion.
