Tips For Preventing Pet Behavior
Problems
http://www.healthypet.com/LIBRARY_VIEW.ASPX?ID=98&SID=1TEN
1. Set rules immediately and stick to them.
2. Avoid situations that promote inappropriate
behavior.
3. Observe the pet and provide what it needs
to be cared for and attended to.
4. Supervise the new pet diligently through undivided
individual attention and training, and restrict
the pet's access to a limited area of the house
until training is complete.
5. Encourage good behavior with praise and attention.
6. Correct bad behaviors by providing positive
alternatives. (A toy for a slipper, scratching
post for the sofa.)
7. Never physically punish or force compliance
to commands. This may lead to fear biting or aggression.
8. Don't play rough or encourage aggression or
play biting.
9. Expose pets to people, animals, and environments
where you want them to live.
10. See your veterinarian if serious or unresolved
behavior problems exist.
