You scored 0-7: Fido rules the roost
There’s no question of who gets final say over everything in your house. You love your pet and it shows, but there seem to be no boundaries when it comes to what your pet is allowed to do. You just can’t say no to that cute, furry face but the longer you allow your pet to do something it’s not supposed to be doing, the harder it will be to curb this behaviour.
You scored 8-14: Pushover pet owner
You know there are certain things your pet shouldn’t be doing, and you try to curb these behaviours, but find it difficult to enforce discipline when the time comes. You often find it easier to let things slide and can be inconsistent when it comes to the house rules. This inconsistency can make it hard to train your pet and enforce the behaviour you want. If one day chewing your shoes is allowed, while the next day it isn’t, your pet will be confused and be more apt to chew your new shoes than not.
You scored 15-21: Consistent and caring
For the most part, you are very consistent when it comes to disciplining your pet. You can say no when you need to, but also know when the priority should be play-time, or when your pet just wants attention. You know the importance of enforcing rules with regularity, but can also relax those rules to suit the situation.
You scored 22-28: Strict, but loving
Your pet knows who the boss is. There are no questions when it comes to what’s allowed – and what isn’t. You take pet obedience very seriously and made sure you were consistent with disciplining him right from the start. You love your pet, but run a tight ship. There’s no counter-hopping, shoe-chewing or furniture-scratching in your house and that’s that way you like it!
