When you teach a puppy the “Come” command, it is best to kneel down so that you are at their same level. At 2 month old puppy can only hold their bathroom needs for 2 hours, a 3 month old for 3 hours, and so on…Until they are 8 months old. The muscles in their bladder are not fully developed and they need time to slowly make it stronger. This is an important element to remember when training. Puppies will need to have a bowel movement 15 to 20 minutes after eating.
When you want to teach your puppy to catch a ball, it is often more successful if you first use a soft fabric ball since it will be easier for them to mouth. A puppy can begin learning commands from the very first day that you bring them home – 8 weeks old is old enough to start to learn basic commands such as “Sit” and “Come”. Source: Facts about dogs

Holding Kittens: The best time to train a cat how to be held is when they are kittens. We easily train all of our kittens to be held upside down (like a baby) by being consistent. Everytime you pick the kitten up, hold it so that the kitten feels secure, so that it can’t fall. Holding kittens must be done the same way, every day so they will learn you won’t drop them. This is critical: you must hold them the same way, every day. Source: liftips

Realize that not all movement is progress. When stress and tension and chaos surround you, pause for a moment and relax. The best time to take a deep breath is when you don’t have time for it. ~Melchor Lim
