Tip #4 - Socialize Your Pet
This doesn’t mean we’re suggesting your dog or cat throws a holiday mixer for the other animals on the block. We are suggesting however, that they get the proper training and learn techniques to adapt to others in our society. This can involve anything from taking your pet to a dog park and learning to hang out with the other pups or, simply teaching your cat to stop clawing Auntie Edna’s wool scarf.
Its important your pets know right from wrong and that there is proper discipline when they are doing something they shouldn’t. Letting them misbehave or act in an unacceptable manner is not considered the most responsible and you may notice others giving you looks or advice when your furry friend starts to act out.
Teaching right from the beginning (when your pet is still a puppy or kitten, or when you first adopt them) is key. This will lead to living with a friendly pet and ultimately a less stressful life.
Stay tuned tomorrow for our final responsible pet parenting tip #5…
