What can trained raccoons do?
We should point out right away that the raccoon is a strange animal. He is neither a robot nor an uncaring lump. If he feels insulted or disappointed by the training, this animal can flare up. Often the animal feels that the tricks he is performing are worth more treats than he is getting. As a result, the striped animal will pull on the "feeding hand" just to remind the human of justice. So, the question of whether you can train a striped cat that is prone to excessive aggression, I would answer in the negative.

Raccoon Training methods
Raccoons can be trained well by encouragement. Tasty food is used as a rewarding incentive. The animals are incredibly hungry for grapes, dried fruit, and nuts. A treat is given to a furball only when it successfully performs the entire trick or when it successfully performs some elements of the trick.
During training, your voice should have only a benevolent tone. The training should be in the form of a game. This process should not tire the raccoon.
Many raccoons become overexcited during training and may lose control of their aggression. It is necessary to carefully monitor the mood of the striped raccoon, In the event of a threat, the animal is ordered to go home and the training is stopped.
