What effect can deep vocal cues have on an animal during restraint?

Deep vocal cues can have a calming effect on an animal during restraint, making it easier for both the handler and the animal to manage the situation. When a handler uses a calm and deep tone of voice, it can convey reassurance to the animal, helping to reduce stress and anxiety. Animals often respond positively to low, steady vocal tones because these cues can signal safety and stability.

In contrast, lower vocal cues that may be perceived as aggressive or loud can startle or agitate an animal, causing it to become more anxious or defensive. This reaction can lead to increased resistance during restraint. Therefore, when interacting with animals, particularly in situations involving restraint, using calm vocal cues is critical in promoting a sense of security and trust, ultimately leading to a more effective and humane handling experience.
