Pet Care & Training
Training and care are the same routine seen from two sides. Puppy-proof the home before the animal arrives, teach one cue at a time with short sessions, and make grooming and teeth brushing ordinary rather than a wrestling match. The litter-tray and habitat guides prevent the behaviour problems that people often mistake for stubbornness. Finish with an evacuation go-bag, which is much easier to assemble before you need it.
