How To Train Your Guy Like An Animals

Males are card-carrying members of the animal kingdom, and they exhibit a lot of the same behaviors as many other mammals. So they’re likely to respond to some of the same training techniques.
Amy Sutherland is the author of the “ What Shamu taught me about life, love and marriage: Lessons for people from animals and their trainers. She's speaking from experience, she's spending a year at an exotic-animal training school, atching students in action, she successfully applied the techniques to her husband. In less than a few months, she was able to curb some of his undesirable traits.

I know we so want in on this. That's why I uncovered time-tested methods used by the most successful nimal trainers on the planet. Then, we got top psychologists to show you how to apply those techniques to your guy. Read on and you will soon be able to teach him some new tricks.

He's Allergic to Chores

If you let him monkey around first, hell focus.

Indulge His Playfulness
As used on Chimpanzees
These primates are big mischief makers, so getting them to calm. Luckily, if you indulge their silly side, you have a good shot at getting them to pay attention. When we need a chimps to perform a task, we get on their level and play with them for five or 10 minutes. Once they've had some fun, they're more willing to heed commandsbecuase they instinctively know it's their turn to return the favor.

No matter how old they are, men never quite lose touch with the playful naughty boy within. Too bad they often pick the worst time to bring out the brat--like when you're running late for work or need time to do some errands for you. To get what you need done, indulge him with a few minutes of acting goofy. Then, tell him you'll finish playing with him later, as long as he does the dishes or does whatever else you need him to do. Since is mind and body are now surging with feel good chemicals from your brief, fun exchange, he's less likely to wrinkle his nose at the request. Use the technique consistently and, over time, he'll be less likely to associate chores with drudgery.

Looks for affection

Reward The Good, Ignore the Bad
As used in Dogs
Pretraining, a pup will sniff crotches and paw at people's legs. The instinct is to shoo it away, but that only makes it want to sniff and paw more. "Instead, trainers reward the dog when it behaves and ignore any actions they don't like. Since dogs crave affection, they slowly begin to avoid bad habits and opt for good ones.

Perhaps your man could use some finessing when it comes to social situations, too--say, to curb his habit of telling off-color jokes. When he engages in unseemly behavior, your immediate reaction might be to tell him to knock it off already. But that tactic invariably falls on deaf ears.
Men don't want to be treated like children, and if you correct him, he'll feel like you're mothering him. Instead, ignore him when he's being irritatingly obnoxious, and give him somePDA (think a kiss or a tap on the butt) when he's acting sweet. Since guys--like dogs--aim to please, he'll instinctively begin to avoid the behavior that makes you freeze him out. One caveat: Timing is crucial. Be sure to reward him at the exact moment he engages in positive behavior; otherwise, he won't be able to make the appropriate connection.

He Stands His Grounds

Brace yourself but never back away

The Proper Body Language
As used on Cougars
When a trainers want a cougar to bend to their will, they find a middle ground. Instead of trying to submit or dominants a cougar, trainers try to form a cooperativerealationships .They walk tall with squared-off shoulders. This stance ensures the trainers don't look the prey, but they're not threatening either.

Even the most liberated guy can feel emasculated by fearless chick. So, when you're having a heated conversation with him, he might beunconciously responding to your body language. If you're standing really close to him with your hand on you hips and your feet wide apart, he'll get defensive and instinctively want to fight back. Similarly, if you stand meekly and tilt your head while talking to him, he might take it as a sign that you're to submissive. The best way to stay on equal ground is to stand with good posture, your head up, and an open frame, so he sees you as being on the same level as he is. This way, he'll be more apt to want to talk things through with you.

Take Baby Steps
As used on Elephants
These mammals can learn a variety of task but only on an incremental time line. A trainer would never expect an animal to learn something without teaching it how to do it. For example, if trainers want an elephant to be a part of a circus act, they'll first show the animal how to curl its trunk around the brush, nxt, they'll have it do the brush into the paint. Only then would they show it how to create brush strokes. Animal trainers call this process of using small steps toward learning a behavior successive approximations.

The average guy is romantic by heart, but his not hardwired to plan out the little details. So if you can't remember the last time he put together a sexy night for you both, you'll have to show him the way. Start by staging the place with cues that get you going, like candles and a sultry soundtrack. Have your favorite chilled wine on hand so you can ask him to open it before dinner. This creates a ritual in his mind. Eventually, not only will he get a sense of what your romantic needs are, but he'll also start making a game plan of his own.
