Pets Help Kids Learn Consequences

The first time the kitty runs away from home or the bird gets out of the cage and flys away - or we forget to feed the guinea pig and he becomes sick, kids start learning the real meaning of consequences. These lessons are emotional ones for kids and emotional lessons, rather than abstract ones, stick with us. Kids learn if they tease the cat, she may scratch them. If they pull the dog's tail, it will hurt and he will yelp. 

Pets Help Kids Develop A Sense of Pride

Kids learn quickly that a dog that is "trained" - one that can follow commands like Down, Sit, & Stay and can walk on a leash without pulling, or fetch a ball is a fun pet to have. They'll spend more time with their dog if its obedience trained. They also know that a dog that can do tricks like "shake" or "High Five!" impresses other children! Having a well mannered pet makes kids proud of their pet!
