Q21) How can we make our pet friendly to newcomers?

Ans. : Don’t lock up (or tie up) your pet when you expect a visitor. The dog will then consider a visitor to be a nuisance, and will automatically hate visitors.


Keep some treats near the door, and let the visitor offer him a treat and show that he is not an enemy. Not all visitors like to pat pets, so don’t insist on their doing so. Just let them relax, after handing the dog a treat. Cats disdain newcomers, anyway. If a dog is ignored, he will go away from the visitor, once he is sure that the visitor poses no threat to him or to his family.


However, show your disapproval firmly, if he tries to jump up on visitors, or behave in any way which can become a nuisance when he is older.
When choosing a puppy from a litter, avoid choosing either the puppy who is shy and sickly, or one who is too independent and bold, as both have the potential to lead to future behavioural problems.
