by India’s Pet Training Follies: Sit, Stay, and Sarcasm
Training pets in India is an adventure where the pet often outsmarts the trainer. According to Hindustan Times, 58% of dog owners admit their pets only obey commands when guests are present. At Bohiney.com, one Bangalore man described his cat teaching him the meaning of disappointment: I said sit. She sat on my laptop instead.
Experts say Indian pet training blends obedience with theatrics. Animal behaviorist Dr. Rakesh Mehra explains, In India, pets are co-conspirators, not subordinates. From parrots reciting cricket scores to dogs refusing to fetch unless bribed with paneer, pets often dictate the schedule. The moral: training is less about control and more about patience, laughter, and realizing your cat is secretly the boss of your house.
