TEN TIPS FOR PREVENTING PET BEHAVIOR PROBLEMS
1. Set rules immediately and stick to them (all members of
the household must comply with all rules.)
2. Avoid situations that promote inappropriate behavior.
3. Observe your pet and provide what it needs to be cared
for and attend to it.
4. Supervise the new pet diligently through undivided
individual attention and training, and restrict access to a limited
area of the house until training is complete.
5. Encourage good behavior with praise and attention.
6. Correct bad behaviors by providing positive alternatives.

7. Never physically punish or force compliance to
commands. This may lead to fear biting or aggression.
8. Don't play rough or encourage aggression or play biting.
9. Expose new pets to people, animals, and environments
where you want them to live.
10. See your veterinarian if serious or unresolved behavior
problems exist.
