Pets are members of our families, and we want to nurture the bond we share with them is also one that we want for our children. When you give your child the sense of purpose by getting them involved in family pet care, you help strengthen this bond.
Let your kids play a part in both training and games. Player together makes the kids and pets closer. Simple games like hide and seek or the cup game where the pet has to find a treat hidden under an overturned cup is an excellent opportunity to get your kids involved, would be a house filled with a lot of tail-wagging and jumping around in excitement.
When it comes to training, treats play a major role, but is not the only way to go about it. It's important to teach kids that for pets, too many treats for the furbaby can be unhealthy. Let your kid explore different motivations for your pet. It can be a toy or a social interaction such as giving praise or petting.
Endless days at home with the family, it is quite useful to take breaks like exercise which then is a great opportunity to let your kids take charge and get some activity and exercise with the pets. As important as exercise is, not just for the pets, but the whole family, it is equally important to have some downtime, a quick nap will do.
When you give your kids more responsibility, from feeding to bathing, this helps your child become a better pet owner in the process, remember that.
