All work and no play isn’t much fun for anyone. This is especially true for someone who is trying to train a pet. If this pet is a dog, why not try having some fun while training your dog at the same time.

You may have many irons in the fire but if are working on pet training with your dog you will need to fit time into your busy schedule to spend with your dog. Training and play time can go together and provide both of you the opportunity to learn and get to know each other better.

When you play with your dog you are building communication skills. These skills are necessary for successful pet training. You will both be learning how the other communicates by watching what the other does and how and when she moves.

You will learn when your dog is ready to play and how to turn that play time into an appropriate experience. Another good thing about playing with your dog is that it provides exercise. When a dog is exercised she will be in a better frame of mind to learn. Exercise also allows the dog time to be busy and keeps inappropriate behavior later in the day at a minimum.

Standard pet training is a good idea and will enable your dog to become a well-behaved companion and friend. You may find that there are times when you and your dog become bored with regular pet training and need a little change of pace. You can use play time to learn a new skill or practice one that has been previously taught.

When you use fun and games as a way to enhance pet training you can let your dog know who is in charge. She will learn that you are the one who starts and ends an activity. You can teach or reinforce commands like; sit, stay, come, etc.

As you progress you can add new commands to games that your dog enjoys. This will further your training and you will both be enjoying the time spend together. This is a wonderful way to bond and your dog will be very aware that you are someone she loves to be with. She will also be more likely to obey you and follow your instructions.

Play time is not just good for your dog. When you take the time to play with your dog you can reduce your stress level and actually become a better pet owner and trainer. Play time may give you just what you need to get back into regular pet training.

Get out and spend some fun time with your dog. The benefits are many and can lead to a dog who is obedient and well-trained as well as relaxed and exercised.

So you have a pet that you love a lot. But that’s not enough. Your pet is not just an object of your affection. It is a living being and needs care. Your pet depends on you and what you know about pet care and how to go about it is what will keep you pet happy and healthy.

You need to understand what your pet needs. While pet care will vary according to the pet you have, there are some basic rules that you can keep in mind:

• Learn about your pet’s special needs – food, health, housing and other general pet care issues
• Remember that not all animals of the same species have the same personalities – just ask any dog owner. Understanding your pet’s personality is an important part of pet care.
• Health and immunization is an important part of pet care. Ensure that your pet visits the veterinarian regularly and is given all the immunizations that are needed.
• Many pets have special grooming needs – pay attention to them.
• Pet with insufficient companionship can get bored and depressed which often results in bad behavior. Before punishing your pet for having done something wrong, see if you are any role to play in the cause of this behavior.
• Make sure your family and friends know how to interact with your pet – people can often be unintentionally cruel or hurt the animal.
• Discipline is an important component of pet care. A pet that knows it boundaries and what it can and cannot do is a happy and secure pet.

Cats are known to be more difficult to train than dogs. They tend to be more independent and walk with an air of royalty about them. Our cream white persian kitten fits that description pretty well. However, when it comes to some basic commands, he has been much easier to train and has learned the tricks more quickly than one of our puppies. This video features some of the tricks that our kitten can perform thus far. Please subscribe to our channel ^^ www.youtube.com to follow our pets as they learn more commands.
