Bemærk: Hvis din hund ikke bevæger sig mod din hånd, kan du få de første par berøringer ved enten at gnide en godbid på din hånd (for at få den til at lugte mere ønskeligt), eller fjerne din hånd og derefter præsentere den igen et par sekunder senere at fange din hund opmærksomhed.
Ikke alle katte ønsker at jage mus. I modsætning til populær tro er jagt en lærd færdighed.

All animals are born with instinctual behaviors that help them survive. A kitten does not need to watch another cat to know how to nurse, for example, but he does observe adult cats to learn other life skills. Unlike instinctual actions, these learned behaviors take time and experience to master through trial, error and observation. Researchers long wondered whether cats engaged in hunting instinctually or learned to stalk and kill prey by watching their mothers until one nineteenth century scientist sought to answer the question. In his decade-long experiment, Professor Kuo Zing Yang raised several solitary kittens without influence from their mothers at the same time he cared for families of felines. He found that more kittens raised by hunting mothers grew up to be hunters themselves, while kittens raised by humans or mothers who didn’t hunt were more likely to ignore prey than chase it down.

En af de mest almindelige stereotyper, som hundeejere er vant til, er hvalpen, der tygger på sko. Når en hund portrætteres i film og tv-serier, findes næsten enhver generende lille hvalp, der tygger på en ejerens sko på et tidspunkt. Selv om denne opførsel ofte er stereotype i populærkulturen, er en meget reel begivenhed, som ejere er nødt til at tackle med jævne mellemrum.
