The dog is given training just like a therapy dog. It's exposed to a lot of different experiences to help it stay calm while in front of the cheetah. The dog goes home with a trainer at the end of the day and goes on drives, hears horns and sounds, gets touched by new people so it learns new experiences. The cheetah stays calm when it sees that the dog is calm.
