@knichol5 "As with the trained workhorse, this is not simply a matter of passive submission to a stronger force, but involves an active choice to accept instruction (Hauck and Schulz 1964, 6:650-1)." 

This, I think is very wise. However, the active choice to accept instruction could be the fear of punishment and isolation or on a positive note the tasty treats or food that will follow compliance.
