"Trainers drill the monkeys on around 30 commands, including "fetch," for retrieving an object, and "trash," for taking something to the garbage can. "Push" might mean the monkey should shut the refrigerator door, while "open" would achieve the opposite. Motivation for learning tasks is provided with peanut butter and spray can whipped cream."

I know that they are much smaller than a Chimpanzee would be, but I remember a particularly chilling thread here that detailed what a Chimp will do to you if it goes bad. I’d be reluctant to have *any* monkey around the house. I’ve handled small monkeys, and even they are surprisingly powerful animals.
