FAQ
What age is it safe to have a pet as a child?
Children under 5 years old should not own pets. Young children should not have cats or dogs.
Children who own pets often get bitten by them. This is especially true of small dogs.
Pit bulls and other breeds of dog can be very aggressive towards animals.
Although a dog may seem friendly, that doesn't necessarily mean that it won't attack an animal.
You should ensure that your dog is trained properly if you do decide to purchase a dog. Your child should always be supervised while playing with the dog.
Which is easier to train: cats or dogs?
The answer is both. It all depends on how you train them.
If you give them treats for doing what they're supposed to do, they'll learn faster. However, if you ignore them and don't listen to them, they'll begin to ignore you.
There is no right or bad answer. The best way to teach your cat/dog is the one you choose.
How do you train your pet?
Consistency is the most important aspect of training a cat or dog. You need to be consistent in how you treat them. If they see you as mean, they will learn not to trust you. They might also start to think that all people are mean.
You can't expect them to know what to do if they aren't treated consistently. This could lead to them becoming anxious around other humans.
The best way to teach a dog or cat is by using positive reinforcement. When you reward them for doing something right, they will want to repeat this behavior.
Punishing them for doing wrong things will make bad behavior more common than rewarding them.
To reinforce positive behavior, you should give treats like food or toys. Give praise wherever possible.
You can use clickers to help train your pet. Clicking refers to a method where your pet taps on a button in order to let you know that he did well.
This method works because animals understand that clicking means "good job".
First, show your pet the trick. Next, reward your pet by asking him to perform the trick.
If he does it correctly you should give him praise. Don't be too proud. You should only praise him once.
You should also set limits. Don't let your pet jump up on other people. Also, don't let your pet bite strangers.
You must always supervise your pet so that he doesn’t injure himself.
