We did that with clicker training in my Operant Conditioning class in Moorpark college's Exotic animal Training and Management Program in '78. It's a good way to understand training from the animal's point of view. If a human who knows someone is trying to train them; already has a basic understanding of clicker training; and for the most part, has an basic understanding of human body language (some are clueless), still gets frustrated during the training session, it really makes you think about how hard it is for another species!
