Clear Communication By Sending Proper Signals<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Misunderstandings are the starting point of any relationship&#8217;s conflict. The <a href=\"https:\/\/addictionpet.wpengine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2018\/02\/addiction-foods-cat-bonding.jpg\"><img class=\"wp-image-3264 alignright\" src=\"https:\/\/addictionpet.wpengine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2018\/02\/addiction-foods-cat-bonding.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"333\" height=\"273\" srcset=\"https:\/\/addictionpet.com\/en-sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2018\/02\/addiction-foods-cat-bonding.jpg 880w, https:\/\/addictionpet.com\/en-sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2018\/02\/addiction-foods-cat-bonding-300x245.jpg 300w, https:\/\/addictionpet.com\/en-sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2018\/02\/addiction-foods-cat-bonding-768x628.jpg 768w, https:\/\/addictionpet.com\/en-sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2018\/02\/addiction-foods-cat-bonding-510x417.jpg 510w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 333px) 100vw, 333px\" \/><\/a>same is true with your pets at home. Learning to communicate with them is the first step to improving your bond.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Think of your dog or cat as someone who speaks a different language. Aside from their barks and meows, their body language can give you insight about their feelings. Some of these gestures can be similar, such as looking at you eye-to-eye or bowing as if they did something wrong. However, these can mean different things to them.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In this light, it is important to take note of your dog or cat&#8217;s habits and mannerisms especially when they interact with you. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Dogs fo<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">r example want to appease you by licking your ears, blinking, or licking their lips. Yawning, turning away from an item or situation presented to them, and raspy panting can be signs of stress or discomfort in dogs. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.petfinder.com\/cats\/bringing-a-cat-home\/how-to-read-cats-body-language\/\">Cats have a different way of expressing themselves. <\/a><\/strong><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">According to Petfinder<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, their tails indicate their current mood. For example, a cat with an erect tail indicates it is in a happy and approachable mood. However, unlike dogs, a cat that wags its tail is not happy; it might mean it is agitated or stressed.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Learning <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">these <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">signs of communication helps pave the way for humans to respond correctly and strengthen their bond with their pets, so take note of them!<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">2. Bond Together With Good Food<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Your mood improves when you eat food. In fact, when you eat organic food and balanced meals, your mood and health improves. This is the same with all animals. Food creates positive reinforcement by enhancing the mood of your pets. We believe it can strengthen the bonds between humans and pets. A healthy and delicious treat as a reward during training and a balanced meal for your pet helps improve your relationship with them.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/addictionpet.wpengine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2018\/02\/addiction-foods-dog-food.jpg\"><img class=\"wp-image-3265 alignright\" src=\"https:\/\/addictionpet.wpengine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2018\/02\/addiction-foods-dog-food.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"348\" height=\"232\" srcset=\"https:\/\/addictionpet.com\/en-sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2018\/02\/addiction-foods-dog-food.jpg 960w, https:\/\/addictionpet.com\/en-sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2018\/02\/addiction-foods-dog-food-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/addictionpet.com\/en-sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2018\/02\/addiction-foods-dog-food-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/addictionpet.com\/en-sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2018\/02\/addiction-foods-dog-food-510x340.jpg 510w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 348px) 100vw, 348px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Our brand is dedicated to formulating and making only the best, healthiest food for pets.

Spend Time and Give Them Attention (They Can Tell!)<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Just like friendly and romantic human relationships, you and your pets need to spend time together. Your pets can sense when you are giving them attention because they too observe their companions including their humans.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Make sure to spend quality one-on-one time together with your pet. If they are still young, begin their training early because it helps them differentiate things they can chew or scratch. It also embeds obedience and respect in the household. <\/span><\/p>\n<p>Bestfriends.org lists<strong>\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/bestfriends.org\/resources\/fun-things-do-your-dog\">great activities you can do with your dogs<\/a><\/strong><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.

Be Sensitive To Your Pets in All Situations<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Pets can experience emotional and psychological pain. However, because they express themselves in subtle ways, without a closer look, you might misread your pet as having fun or relaxing.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Psychology Today dubs the emotional abuse and the pets&#8217; minimal expressions regarding the experience as &#8220;an invisible world of hurt.&#8221;<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> In fact, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.psychologytoday.com\/en-sg\/blog\/all-dogs-go-heaven\/201204\/emotional-pain-in-animals-invisible-world-hurt\">pets can feel rejection,<\/a> terror, taunting, isolation, abandonment, and even pressure to achieve an objective or follow a command.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/addictionpet.wpengine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2018\/02\/dog-cat-friends-addiction-foods.jpg\"><img class=\" wp-image-3267 alignright\" src=\"https:\/\/addictionpet.wpengine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2018\/02\/dog-cat-friends-addiction-foods.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"342\" height=\"230\" srcset=\"https:\/\/addictionpet.com\/en-sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2018\/02\/dog-cat-friends-addiction-foods.jpg 960w, https:\/\/addictionpet.com\/en-sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2018\/02\/dog-cat-friends-addiction-foods-300x202.jpg 300w, https:\/\/addictionpet.com\/en-sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2018\/02\/dog-cat-friends-addiction-foods-768x517.jpg 768w, https:\/\/addictionpet.com\/en-sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2018\/02\/dog-cat-friends-addiction-foods-510x343.jpg 510w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 342px) 100vw, 342px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Treat your pets as you would treat other people or even young children. Going home in a bad mood and <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">being <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">openly expressive about your aggression can trigger a dog or cat&#8217;s fight or flight mechanism and unnecessarily elevate their stress levels.

Assertive Enforcement of Rules and Limitations<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It does benefit both you and your pet if you keep close watch to their feelings and address their concerns. However, there is such a thing as &#8220;over-caring&#8221; or &#8220;over-loving&#8221; your pet. Enslaving yourself unnecessarily for the happiness of your dog or cat is not beneficial to your pets. In fact, it makes your bond with them worse than ever.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Both dogs and cats can have dominant traits. They can threaten you in the household if they&#8217;re not pleased with their food or if you are not giving them attention. These dominant pets can even attempt to hurt you to get what they want.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Renowned &#8220;Dog Whisperer&#8221; Cesar Milan <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cesarsway.com\/dog-psychology\/pack-position\/5-keys-to-handling-a-dominant-dog\"><strong>has a few pointers to help counter dominant dog behavior<\/strong><\/a><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>.<\/strong> Asserting your authority and laying down rules and limitations for them helps dogs focus their dominance and express themselves without being harsh or hurtful. These include limiting the spaces they visit in your household, withholding their food until they are calm and submissive, and waiting for you to go into and out the door.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Meanwhile,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/healthypets.mercola.com\/sites\/healthypets\/archive\/2012\/03\/28\/feline-aggression-remedies.aspx\">spoiling a cat can contribute to its dominant behavior<\/a><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. Cats that display narrowed, furtive glances and twitching tails are often signs of dominance in the household. It is important to let them finish the act you consider troublesome and then enforce non-physical punishments. These include isolating them in a room if they are rowdy in the general living space and training them with positive reinforcement to obey and follow your commands so they can receive their food.<\/span><\/p>\n\r\n\t\t<div class=\"da-reactions-outer TpostID3263\">\r\n            \r\n            <div class=\"da-reactions-data da-reactions-container-async center\"\r\n                data-type=\"post\"\r\n                data-id=\"3263\"\r\n                data-nonce=\"701c76a223\"\r\n                id=\"da-reactions-slot-post-3263\">\r\n                <div class=\"da-reactions-exposed\">\r\n                    <img src=\"https:\/\/addictionpet.com\/en-sg\/wp-content\/plugins\/da-reactions\/assets\/dist\/loading.svg\" alt=\"Loading spinner\" width=\"64\" height=\"64\" style=\"width:64px; height:64px\" \/>\r\n                <\/div>\r\n            <\/div>\r\n        <\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>F ebruary is the season of love and it is not just about the romantic and mushy relationship between two people.
