Mellowing Down a Wild Pet
The owner must never consider declawing or defanging as the first resort or even as the last resort. The pet undergoes a lot of pain during and after the surgery. Many owners swear that their pets had undergone total personality changes after declawing. They also turn violent as their means of natural defense is lost. And no quantity and quality of training can undo this negativity. Also, it certainly doesn’t mean that the animal will not bite after its canines have been removed. Even after defanging the animal, it can still bite and hurt with its molars.
A very easy and recognized method of training a wild pet is slightly tapping on the nose of the pet when it bites really hard. But this won’t apply to all, and worst of all, it can even encourage the animal to bite even more. They may take it as a challenge and make more rough play. It will back off for a while and then make a sneak attack. But the technique does work for some pet owners, and above all, there is no harm in practicing this technique. It should only be practiced till the positive outcome is achieved. If negative results begin to happen, the practice should be stopped immediately. Whenever the pet bites, hold that body part still. This will bore the cat and it will treat it like a toy to play with.
When the pet prepares to attack, another easier thing which can be done is raising up the hands. The pet will bounce off and will give up at some time, seeing the disinterest of the person. But it would be a mistake to over react to the situation like making noises, yelling or pushing the pet. The pet will assume that the person is enjoying the play and participating in the act and will increase its enthusiasm even more. Animals play rough games and getting a rough response from the owner makes them assume that they are participating in their rough act. Other tactics like pinning down the pet or grabbing will just aggravate the wild pet's habits.
Biting can also be stopped by giving a toy to the animal which they can chew on instead of hurting the family members by pouncing on and biting them. Most of them like toys which are squishy, rubbery, soft and easily chewable. The toy can then be tied to a rope and wiggled and the animal cannot only pounce on it but also chew it. The toy can be carried along all the time and when the pet prepares to attack any family member, the toy can be wiggled at him and he will pounce on the toy instead. But extra care needs to be taken in this regard as some animals can tear up the toy and eat it. Those pieces can block up their intestines which can make them ill and sometimes might even lead to the pet's death. The animal will sometimes vomit or excrete the foreign objects, but sometimes the blockage situation will require expensive surgery. Pets should be constantly supervised when they are playing with toys.
