Is there any way, of letting an Elephant know your intentions?

How do Zookeepers communicate with them? Any Elephant whisperer/expert/other person, who can tell me?

Yes.Verbal commands.Hand signals and body language. A training reinforcer such as a clicker.There are other training methods, some of which may be illegal where you live. Use of a bullhook is illegal where I live (Los Angeles).... Show More

They can be trained. In fact, they are smarter than dogs.... Show More
