Cat: Aggression toward people
Aggression is the most serious behavioral issue in cats and is more common than one may
think. It’s a symptom of an underlying problem, and it always needs to be taken seriously.

Cats who seem to eat better when they have human company are called “affection eaters.” Sometimes they just want someone to sit with them while they eat, while others enjoy being pet or need even further encouragement to eat such as having food brought close to them, hearing their kibble dish rattle, or even being spoon fed.
Any kitten between the ages of 3 weeks and 7 weeks with a lack of positive interactions with
humans is likely to be scared of people.
Fear is common and a perfectly normal, innate, and adaptive behavior in all animals. However, if fear isn’t addressed, it can develop into serious behavioral and health problems, so if your cat is showing fear or shyness you should always deal with it proactively.
Teaching your dog to drop something on command means you will be able to get dangerous or unauthorized items away from her without problems or aggression.
Down is a great way to teach your dog impulse control and to make your life easier. A dog lying down can’t jump, surf counters, knock over trash cans, or steal your shoes.
Almost all authorities believe that dogs should be vaccinated against common or dangerous
infectious diseases. Vaccines don’t always completely protect a dog from getting sick. However, they usually provide a great deal of protection and reduce the severity of symptoms if the dog does become infected.
Do you have a bundle of joy on the way? Congratulations! Introducing a newborn baby into your home is a big change for the entire family, including the family dog. However, a baby on the way shouldn’t mean an eviction notice for your dog.
Like people, dogs perform better when they are reinforced for their achievements. Rewards
maintain the motivation and build a positive human-animal bond.
Teaching your dog the touch/target command means you can distract her from things you don’t want her to focus on and get her attention in situations that could be dangerous.
