If you’re wondering what the secret behind a pet who will love you unconditionally is, we have it decoded for you.

1. Pay attention to them

The number one rule for your pet to be affectionate towards you is trust. They must trust you for your bond to strengthen. Dogs and Cats are usually the friendliest of pets, so they should reciprocate with affection in no time.

2. Don’t restrict them

Hold them with care and let them run around. Don’t restrict them to areas of your house. It’s very important to let your pet feel independent and free.

3. Provide them with training

Your pet will surely love some training. Hire a pet trainer or take your pet for walks. For cats, you can have a behavioural trainer come home and look after them for a while every day.

4. Never leave them alone for long

You might have to rush to your office or a party or other activities, but leaving your pet alone too much often makes them feel neglected. This can also result in depression and anxiety. Try to stay around as much as you can, call a friend to take care of them, but avoid leaving them on their own.
