1. Tire Them Out 解開他們
Some dogs and cats are happy to sleep all day, but puppies and breeds such as border collies and huskies were born to run, says Sarah Pennington, a dog trainer. Try to fit in a vigorous walk – between 30 and 60 minutes – every day before work.

有些狗跟貓，非常樂意整天睡覺，但是小狗跟有些品種的狗如同科雞跟哈士奇，天生就會亂跑，一位狗狗訓練家沙拉說。試著在工作前，有一段充滿活力的散步，大約三十到六十分鐘。
2. Keep Watch, Big Brother Style
持續監控，老大哥模式。You can supervise, talk to and play with your pet while at work via your computer or smartphone app. Video chat with your animal over Skype by setting up an account for them and enabling the ‘auto answer’ feature. As long as your home computer is on, your pet’s Skype will always pick up when you call.
當你在工作時，你可以透過電腦或是智慧型手機APP，監督你的寵物，跟他玩跟他講話。 註冊一個帳號給他們，開啟自動回覆模式，你可以用SKYPE錄下和你的動物聊天。 只要家裡的電腦開著，寵物的SKYPE就會自動接起你的電話。
3. Play Mind Games 玩心理遊戲
Even the most docile pet can howl or gnaw out of boredom or separation anxiety. Put dog biscuits in a feeding toy that has them unlock a puzzle to access their treat. Indoor cats will enjoy the distraction of a toy that taps into their wild instincts, such as a noise-making crinkle ball.

即使是最溫馴的寵物都會嚎叫，或是因為無聊亂咬，或是分離焦慮。把狗狗餅乾放在餵食玩具里，讓他們解開一個謎題，然後就可以拿到他們的獎賞。 家貓會很享受這個玩具，這會喚起他們的野生直覺，像是噪音球。
4. Contain, Don’t Crate
Nature calls for young dogs about every half hour, but resist putting your canine in a crate. Instead, keep them in a safe, chew-free area with access to food, water, toys, their crate and a spot for them to do their business.

包容，不要放進籠子
年輕的狗狗很自然的美半小時都會名教，但是不要把你的狗狗放進箱子。而是把他們放在安全的，咬不到東西的地方，靠近食物水玩具和他們的籠子，以及提供一個地方能給他們做自己的事情
