Behaviour
The bond between a pet and its owner is very strong and provides huge
rewards. Along with the rewards comes the responsibility of caring
for a living creature that depends upon you for all its needs.
Caring for your pet's needs means providing a good diet and regular
exercise. It also means making sure your pet has the basic social
skills which make it an acceptable member of the family.
A good relationship is based on communication and the relationship with
a pet is no exception. Pets cannot talk and are unable to understand
many words. However, cats and dogs are very good at picking up body
language. The key to communicating with your pet is reading their body
language and learning to use your body language to talk to them.
