Many residents of the modern cities get to themselves a cat, a dog or more exotic animals, considering their lovely tame pets. But in order that the pet obeyed, was tender, did not spoil furniture, he needs to be brought up. And process of education means also punishment for faults.
Instruction
1. Often owners of pets have a question: whether it is necessary to punish pets and how it is the best of all to do it? It is necessary to punish, certainly, that the pet understood how it is necessary to behave and what it is not authorized to it to do. Establish rules for your favourite and always adhere to them. If he cannot gnaw footwear or to tear up claws a sofa, let know that it cannot be done under no circumstances, and violation of the ban has to cause countermeasures.
2. On the other hand, do not go too far in punishments. If the cat or a dog overturned something from a table, pulled down a piece, dropped a vase, but you did not see this action as you were at work, you should not abuse the pet on arrival and to shout at it. He is already and forgot to think of this case and will not understand your reaction, will be frightened, will cease to trust. The timeliness is a main principle of training of a pet.
3. Punishing the pet, do not forget also about his nature. When the dog on walk rolls in dirt or a garbage, it is not disrespect for you or bad behavior. It is its natural instinct, so she hides the smell from other animals. Of course, it is necessary to disaccustom her to it, but do not do it through punishment. In the same way and the cat can pull down a piece of sausage from a table as its instinct orders to make by it it. In these cases it is better for person to think of the behavior: that he made not and why allowed the pet to arrive badly. Having only cleared cutting or a meat dish the table and without walking near a dump, it is possible not to provoke an animal to violation of your rules.
4. As punishment do not apply deprivation of the pet of food or strong physical punishments. Sometimes use of force is just necessary, but it is better to use in that case a lead odergivaniye, a small slap a hand or the curtailed newspaper. And to take these measures only as a last resort: when the pet does not react to other measures when is spoiling for a fight or under the car, attacks the person. It is better to exclude punishment by a lead as it has to be associated at a dog with pleasant things: walks and training.
5. The loud hail, a clap in palms on the wrong behavior, strict tone will become good methods of punishment. Pets are capable to react better to psychological influence, than on physical therefore change of your voice will help them to realize much better that they made something not what causing pain by it. Besides, you can stop a game which played with the pet or to leave him for some time of one, not to notice it and not to talk to him. Communication with the person is an important part of the life of your favourites therefore they will remember that you react to their undesirable actions countermeasures.
