What should you do if a sea lion refuses to respond to LEI?

Report it to a junior trainer
Remain calm and follow containment protocols
Change the training environment immediately
Ignore the behavior until the next session

The correct answer is: Remain calm and follow containment protocols

When a sea lion refuses to respond to a Lead Encouragement Initiative (LEI), remaining calm and following containment protocols is essential in maintaining a safe and effective training environment. This approach allows trainers to manage the situation appropriately without causing stress to the animal or putting anyone at risk. Following containment protocols ensures that proper safety measures are in place to prevent the sea lion from reacting unpredictably, which could lead to potential injuries for both the animal and the trainers. Maintaining calm is crucial, as animals can often sense tension or anxiety, which may exacerbate their reluctance to engage. By adhering to established protocols, trainers can assess the situation and make informed decisions about how to proceed with training, potentially identifying the reasons behind the sea lion's behavior without escalating the issue. This method promotes a more positive interaction and supports the overall well-being of the sea lion.
