PET BEHAVIOR- EMOTIONS

Pet behavior and emotions reflect their needs, mood, and environment. They show happiness through wagging tails or purring, fear through hiding or trembling, and stress with pacing or barking. Playfulness, affection, or aggression reveal their emotional state and personality.

  17. House Training 1. Reward your dog for getting it right • Reward your dog for getting it right Keep treats next to the leash Keep your dog on leash until they go Keep track of accidents 2. Prevent your dog from getting it wrong No free-roaming: leashes, tethers, crates Go out at regular intervals 3. Do not punish accidents • It's counterproductive Immediately take your dog outside to try and catch them getting it right Clean with an enzymatic cleaner and take note of the time/place +91 9789590303 www.zutail.com

  19. Understanding your kitten's behaviour • Kittens can't speak, but they will communicate with you in a number of ways. Reading body language and listening to the sounds they make can tell you a lot about what they need from you. www.zutail.com +91 9789590303

  20. Your kitten's body language • Your kitten will give you a number of behavioural cues using their body language to indicate their mood. By understanding each change in behaviour, you can learn to provide your kitten with what they need, whether it's space, playtime or food. www.zutail.com +91 9789590303

  21. Calm • A calm posture is your kitten's neutral state from which all other body language develops. It's important to know how your kitten behaves when they are friendly so that you can recognize even the subtle changes. www.zutail.com +91 9789590303

  22. Interested • If your kitten is interested in something, they will show it through their body language. This isn't exclusively a reaction to something negative, and merely shows your kitten's focus on specific items/situations. If your kitten is showing interest in toys, it's a good idea to engage them in games or play. This will offer both mental and physical stimulation, but also provides an excellent opportunity for bonding. www.zutail.com +91 9789590303

  23. Relaxed • Relaxed behavior from your kitten is a great indication that they are feeling comfortable, settled or secure in any given situation. www.zutail.com +91 9789590303

  24. Worried • It's important to recognize the signs of worry or distress in your kitten. If they appear to be worried, you should try to remove the trigger and give your kitten space. Make sure that your kitten is always able to remove themselves from a situation and access higher spaces to calm down. www.zutail.com +91 9789590303

  25. Fearful • There are several body language cues your kitten might display if they are fearful. One posture which indicates a fearful cat is the arched back and puffed up tail. The purpose of this behavior is often to make themselves as large or as imposing as possible to dissuade potentially hostile encounters. As with worried cats, it's important to remove any potential triggers to allow your kitten to calm down. www.zutail.com +91 9789590303

  28. Guiding behaviours • A kitten's behaviour is highly influenced by others. In their early weeks and months, your kitten will have adopted a number of behaviours from their litter-mates and mother. When they arrive at your home, it's up to you to reinforce the positive behaviours they exhibit and minimise any negative actions.  www.zutail.com +91 9789590303

  29. What causes unwanted behavior in kittens? • Cats are creatures of habit, and particularly appreciate an established routine. Behaviours such as scratching furniture, biting or refusal to use the litter box can often be signs that your kitten is unsettled or disrupted. As well as continued positive reinforcement, if you notice an increase in destructive behaviour, think about whether there could be a hidden cause.  www.zutail.com +91 9789590303
