Stash small jars of treats, a clicker, and poop bags at strategic spots: entry, kitchen, balcony door. When good behavior appears, mark and reward quickly. Keep long leads by the yard door for decompression walks. Clear, timely feedback shortens training sessions, builds confidence, and transforms everyday moments into satisfying, shared victories worth celebrating.
Set up a greeting routine with a mat cue and a polite sit behind a gate. Use white-noise machines near shared walls. Offer a stocked calm zone for parties, with chews and a water bowl. Let friends toss treats from a distance, pairing visitors with safety, predictability, and good things that reinforce relaxed, steady manners.
Respect scent maps by avoiding abrupt furniture shuffles. Add duplicate resources: bowls, beds, boxes, and perches. Use slow, scent-first introductions with cloth swapping. Provide vertical options for cats and escape routes for smaller animals. Celebrate peaceful moments with quiet praise and treats, strengthening trust and encouraging cooperative routines that feel fair to everyone.
