Play is an important part of a dog’s life. Without regular contact with humans, pets can become frustrated and this will manifest in aggressiveness. Take the time to play with your pet. Throwing sticks in the yard or getting him to run after a ball will provide him with exercise while exposing him to some socializing. Rewarding with kind words or a pat on the head each time he successfully fetches the stick or ball will turn him into an affectionate, loving pet.

You can also play with him in a pet playpen. Cats are especially enjoyable creatures to play in the pen with. Provide him with an array of toys and he will be busy for a while. Some good cat toys you can buy are wand toys, balls with bells in them, catnip mice, and crinkly catnip things. You can also gather a few things from your home such as open boxes or pieces of straw. Cats always enjoy playing with these things.
