You can train big cats pretty much in two ways. Either by force, or by trust. The force kind is/was often used in circuses, where the animals usualy did their tricks in fear of pain from a whip or a stick.
But you can also train them based on trust, and reward them for doing something good instead of hurting them when doing something wrong. The commands you give can kinda vary. They can range anywhere from hand signals, to facial expressions to vocal commands. That depends on the animal. Some respond better to vocal while other take a better understanding in hand signals.
Rewards are given in the form of tiny pieces of meat.
Training a big cat takes years tho, you need to spend hours and hours with it from the day it was born, every single day. You can't just take a break for a week or two, cuz then you will lose the bond with the animal.

WOW facial expresions, they must be very smart creatures!
I absolutley HATE animal abuse! It sucks. I would much rather start a good bond with it then beat it.
