Animal Training

Animal Training (animal type) Technical Apprentice 300 hours Similar to the Teaching skill, but this skill works for beasts. Each type of animal is a separate skill. Additional animal types may be taught if you study the animals' behaviour for 100 hours (can be tested down). You receive a +20% bonus to learn additional types of animals. Typical animals that can be trained are: dogs, horses, monkeys/apes, and parrots (or other talking birds). What kinds of tricks an animal may learn—and how well they learn them—depends on what kind of animal it is. For example, dogs can learn to fetch, guard or attack; whereas teaching a parrot to do anything but speak or whistle is quite difficult. Teaching a cat to do anything it doesn't want to do is an exercise in futility.
