No matter the breed, dogs and cats provide multiple ways in which we can interact with them. Obedience training The goal of obedience training is not only to have a well-mannered pet, but to give you an opportunity to bond with your pet and spend more time together. Many dogs actually relish the time they spend in obedience training and are so happy when praised for obeying a command. Some of them literally jump for joy.
Cats can learn, too.
Some cats can be taught to sit, and many cats enjoy playing a game of fetch. Almost any animal, including birds, mice, rats, hamsters and other what we call pocket pets , can be taught to do various tricks. Agility training Agility training is a newer way of working with dogs, and helping them learn new commands. In agility, dogs are asked to climb stairs and ramps, go through tunnels and literally jump through hoops. These types of exercises can be more difficult for a dog to learn because they are less like the activities a dog would normally perform.
