How long does it take for a trainer to domesticate a giant cave spider and a hydra? I have them both restrained with a chain over an animal training zone.

I frequently see the animal trainer having no job even though he has two animals to train. They've been stuck in a Trained state for a long while now. Do they have to be released from the chain to be trained further also?

Another odd point is that the wiki says hydras are "Not trainable", but my hydra is marked as Trained, which adds to the confusion.
