My family has a wild elephant that we keep as a pet, but it's very hard to control. How do I discipline this wild elephant?

There is no way to discipline a wild elephant in an appropriate way. You should never try to use physical discipline on wild animals, as it can do more harm than good. Instead, it is recommended to talk to the elephant in a firm and friendly voice, explaining what behavior you expect from him or her. In time this may help them become better behaved and adjusted. For dangerous behavior or aggressive acts the best thing to do would be consulting with a professional animal trainer who has experience with wild animals such as these. Good luck!

It sounds like you need a structured, consistent approach to discipline the elephant. One way is to create a “safe zone” in which the elephant cannot enter. Use an animal-proof electric fence or tall walls to designate this area. Don’t underestimate your pet elephant, either; invest in specially-built restraints that may be strong enough to contain them when needed. Additionally, consider positive reinforcement such as providing healthy treats as rewards and making sure your interaction involves fun activities as often as possible. Finally, if these approaches do not seem effective, consult with an animal behavior professional for guidance on further disciplinary measures
 
Happy training!
