Problem: Your cat carries food from her bowl to the floor

Why it happens: Kitty might not like her bowl especially if it is made of plastic. Plastic hoards bacteria and passes on an offensive taste to food and water. Most cats have an allergy to plastic and develop a skin condition similar to acne.

Solution: Change your cat’s bowl to a stainless-steel or ceramic bowl. If that doesn’t work, try various foods or a deeper bowl.

Problem: Your cat scratches your furniture

Why it happens: Cats love to scratch in order to mark their territory. They also need it to shed the outer layer of their claws.

Solution: Look for a scratching post. Position it right next to the furniture he likes to scratch until he learns what is okay to scratch and what isn’t.

Problem: Your dog barks when there’s someone at the door

Why it happens: Most dogs bark to indicate someone approaching the family pack. The barking appears to drive out intruders so your dog will want to carry on with it.

Solution: Have a friend or a family come up to the door and scratch it quietly enough that the sound does not draw barking. Praise your dog and give him a treat. Develop to tapping the door, then knocking, and lastly ringing the bell. Before long, your dog will start sniffing for treats every time there’s a sound at the door. Add verbal praise before giving him the treat and sooner or later his reward will be your verbal praise and you won’t have to use treats. But bear in mind that it takes time to teach an old dog with new tricks.

Problem: Your dog pulls on his leash

Why it happens: A dog is full of curiosity. He wants to get somewhere to see and sniff everything all at once. New stuff always excites him.

Solution: To manage a dog who tugs on his leash, train him to walk properly. A big part of this leash-walking strategy is to be more appealing than the surroundings. Get excited when your dog looks at you. If it doesn’t work, stop walking when he pulls on his leash. He will turn to you and wonder what happened. Call his attention. Encourage him to go back beside you and make it the best possible place in the world. Do this until he learns.
