It is a good idea to allow the animal to instigate interactions first, if your pet is a bit fearful, treats or toys given by the guest can add to making visitors a good experience. You can also plan feeding time around visits or feeding the pet in close proximity to the guest. Most animals get into trouble because they find ways to occupy their minds or get our attention in ways that seem inappropriate to us. Training games stimulates their thinking and can lead into occupying them constructively rather than destructively. Training also creates proper understanding or communication between the pet and their humans.

Due to the length of this article, specific methods of training will not be discussed. Cat owners may want to do some additional reading or consult with a behaviorist for specific steps. This is a very important behavior for any animal.
