(#10) Giving Them A Too-Small Cage
Whether you are crate training a dog or getting a rat or guinea pig, a cramped cage does not give animals enough room to be comfortable or happy. Rodents and other caged animals need a lot of room to explore, exercise, and play in order to be happy and healthy.
They can quickly become sick and depressed in cramped quarters.

(#9) Being Too Nice
While pets need affection, they also need you to be able to put your foot down, even if it seems mean. Some animals will eat until they are sick if they aren't carefully watched, and it's up to you to monitor them and not give them everything they want.
Dogs also require strict discipline and structure so they don't become unruly, unhappy, and anxious.

(#8) Punishing Your Pet After The Fact
The fact of the matter is most animals are not geniuses. If you come home and scream or physically punish them for something they did hours ago, they will not necessarily connect your anger with the action and learn to fear you rather than fix their behavior.
Instead of using physical punishments, command them with a firm "no" at the time.

(#13) Rubbing Your Cat Wrong
Cats greet those they like by showing their bellies, and you rubbing their belly is actually breaking their trust. This is why they appear to be asking for belly rubs, but then scratch at your skin.
Cats prefer soft head pats as a hello.

(#5) Expecting Your Dog To Communicate The Way A Person Would
Here's a seemingly simple fact that nonetheless can be hard to remember: dogs can't understand us because they don't speak our language. When you yell at them out of frustration and ignore their body language cues, they can tell that you are upset, but don't understand why. This can make them anxious or aggressive because they want to please you but don't know how.

(#6) Being Inconsistent
If you set rules for your pet, make sure that everyone else you live with enforces them. Whether you don't want your cat to jump in specific places, or you don't want your dog to lick faces, make sure everyone knows these rules.
Otherwise, they will send your pet mixed messages, confuse them, and ensure that they are stressed out and hard to handle.
