I don’t actually work with lab animals. Animal technicians who are the people responsible for looking after animals in labs do hold animals and talk to them as this helps to reduce the stress that the animals feel. And when animals like monkeys and dogs are used then they might spend time training them to coopoerate in the experiments.
