Living with a pet is a lot like living with a human friend: it's important that we should set clear boundaries, treat each other with respect, acknowledge one another’s needs, and spend some time together. Unlike living with a human friend, even, your pet depends on you for food, health, and affection, among other things. The specific ways in which you become friends with your pet will differ depending on what sort of animal you have.
Following are the best ways we can use them to be friends with your pets
1. Show some patience
Realize that it could take some time to build a lasting bond with your animal. Some animals, like puppies and cats, might naturally be more easy around you than smaller mammals and reptiles, who might be more prone to defensive behaviour.
2. Be consistent
Be consistent in everything you do, from feeding or training, and everything in between. Some pets acts like children in that they need consistency and structure in order to feel safe and secure.
3. Never use violent actions
If your animal does something you disapprove of, calmly and firmly let them know it’s not okay without hurting them or screaming at them. Hurting them will make them more likely to attack you, or not obey you.
So takes this advice seriously.
4. Uderstand the body language of your pet
Body language is vastly different depending on what sort of animal you have chosen for your pet. If you are not aware of your pet’s body language, buy a book or reading some websites devoted to your specific animal. Understanding your pet’s body language will help you to be a better communicator.
5. Respect the likes and dislikes of your pet
Animal experts give us general guidelines about what to expect from animals, but as with people, most animals will have their own quirks. It’s necessary that you should respect your pet’s individuality;
don’t try to make it do things that it clearly doesn’t like. Note that this isn’t the same as letting your pet run your house or bully you. You still need to consistently stand by your rules.
