The IQ of the yellow-eared turtle is relatively high compared with other turtles, so they will know their master. However, the newly bought yellow-eared turtles will not know their owners. After they adapt to the environment, the breeders need to train them to some extent. After training, when the master approaches, they will swim quickly to the master, and some lively yellow-eared turtles will express their excitement with special enthusiasm. If they are put on the ground, they will follow their owners. Although these movements seem simple, they can only be realized after long-term training by breeders.

If you want yellow-eared turtles to know their masters, you must persist in training. When feeding at ordinary times, you can interact with them more. For example, hold food in your hands and feed it to them. You can also talk to them during feeding, so that they can quickly familiarize themselves with the smell and sound of their owners. In addition, they can be taken out and attracted to chase their owners with food on land. Stick to these kinds of training, and the yellow-eared turtle will soon know its master.

Although they are lively, they still have a certain fear of unfamiliar environment when they are just bought home. At this time, breeders should not train them immediately, and it is best to wait for them to adapt to the new environment before trying to train.
