Could animals be taught to purchase from us?

There is a sort of economy between us already. I am not arguing that they could grasp what they are doing fully. More like some behavioral training.

Two instances come to mind. The affection of cats that are hungry, and aphids that secrete nectar for ants. Sheep dogs….

This could be a new ecologically relevant area of economics.
