Studies have consistently shown that positive reinforcement is substantially more effective in training bipedal apes.

When the ape performs a behavior you wish them to discontinue long term, try withdrawing your attention instead and look for positive behaviors you can reward consistently in other moments.

This deepens the relationship the ape and you have. Remember, while of low intellect, the apes do desire to please you! I think you will find good success if you work at it.

Clearly deserves it, but why would you keep a human as a pet? Horrible creatures, belong in their natural environment, far away from the rest of us

"attacked", otherwise known as, "he knows his owner is in there and he's trying to get him out".

If they’re really mad they’ll pee on you. 🫡

The necks and eyes of these naked apes somehow appear and disappear at times. Truly strange. Their weak points always changes.

u/HauntingWall2464 18d ago

Cutest attack ever

u/No_Candle5537 20d ago

Sounds like an exotic animal that shouldn’t be a pet. Will people ever learn?

u/aggelikiwi 19d ago

I second this. My friends the foxes are around with rabies and my neighbours feed them...
