Pet Behavior

Dog obedience can be promoted, as long as you follow positive reinforcement practices when you are relating to your dog.

You can train your cat to use the scratch post by rubbing the surface with catnip and by rubbing your cat's paws gently on the post. If your cat wishes to use an object other that the post for scratching, give him a firm "no", bring him to the post and once again gently rub his paws on the post. You should give praise or a treat when the post is used.
