| With a little patience and
information, you can train your dog or cat to stop barking, fighting, digging, chewing, biting, scratching,
soiling, jumping, and more. Learn about house training your pet, pet socialization
techniques, leash training, separation anxiety, tricks, and car training. Basic obedience
training usually consists of 6 behaviors: (1) sit, (2) down, (3) stay, (4) recall, (5)
close, and (6) heel. Training is about communication. From the human perspective, the
handler is communicating to the dog or cat which behaviors are correct, desired, or
preferred, in what circumstances, and also what behaviors are undesirable. A handler must
also understand communication from the dog or cat. The pet can signal that they are
unsure, confused, nervous, happy, excited, and so on. The emotional state of the pet is an
important consideration in directing the training, as a pet that is stressed or distracted
will not learn efficiently. Some attention to health care and proper
nutrition is important to your pet’s well-being, energy levels, and savings of
veterinary expenses. You will want to learn about how food supplements, nutrition, and
natural preventives contribute to your pet’s health and well-being. Learn about
various illnesses and diseases that your pet may get and how to avoid, identify, treat, or
alleviate the conditions.
Examples of common foods and
substances which can be deadly to dogs and cats include: chocolate, grapes, raisins,
onions, garlic, macadamia nuts, beer, food allergies, pits from fruits, antifreeze,
aspirin, Tylenol, and ibuprofen.
