Pets are great friends, but they can sometimes be a handful — they might chew things, scratch things, pee in the wrong place, poop in the wrong place, disobey, or even attack humans. Sometimes, the characters set out to nip this behaviour in the bud once and for all by Training the Pet. This is common in a First Pet Story since inexperienced pet owners can have a hard time training pets, but it needn't be the trainer's first pet — heck, it doesn't even need to be their pet. Sometimes, someone is asked to train someone else's pet because they love animals and/or animals love them. Sometimes, this will be a new pet adopted by a household (sometimes a Pet Baby Wild Animal, but usually a normal pet like a cat or a dog), and one character will threaten to give the pet away if the animal isn't trained pronto. Other times, this is a pet they've had for a while but has only just recently started to misbehave, or their misbehaviour has only recently become a problem (due to a landlord, Cranky Neighbour, etc.) In these cases, the problem might be solved by revealing that the animal was pregnant, had a splinter, or was just hungry, sad, etc. If the trainer succeeds, then either the pet lives happily with its owners, or they'll end up needing to revert back to misbehaving (sometimes because Status Quo Is God) for some plot-relevant reason, perhaps with An Aesop about accepting animals for who they are. If the trainer fails, then either the pet will be given away, or the owners will have to just deal with their annoying behaviours. Can overlap with Fluffy Tamer if the pet is a monster and Apathetic Pet if they don't care about the owner or hate humans in general (though in those cases, they usually come around; see Defrosting Ice Queen and Took a Level in Kindness). Sometimes, they come around after their owner was nice to them. If they're a Sapient Pet, they might be a Jerk with a Heart of Gold. No relation to Toilet Training Plot (though it may involve housebreaking) or Training Montage. |

The Casagrandes: In "Perro Malo", the eponymous family thinks their dog Lalo has been acting aggressive, and the grandfather, Hector, threatens to send him away if he's not retrained. The Casagrandes try to give him lessons with their friends' dogs, but none of the attempts work. Luckily, it turns out that this was actually his brother Malo, and the real Lalo is returned to the family. In one episode, "My Fair Cat Lady", the pound owner threatens to lock a clowder of aggressive stray cats away if they can't be tamed. Adelaide tries to teach them manners and get them adopted, but they only behave if fish is on offer. Thankfully, when Great Lakes City gets a rat infestation, they're hired as exterminators. |

Borderlands 2: The sidequest "Walking the Dog" from the DLC campaign Mr. Torgue's Campaign of Carnage inverts this: Tiny Tina gives you the task of taking her pet, a Skag called Enrique, for a walk, as part of your training regime. This being both Pandora and Torgue territory, part of taking care of Enrique requires you to keep Enrique alive from bandits and other hostile creatures... and you running from Enrique. Successfully completing the sidequest prevents you from dealing with Enrique again. During the DLC mini campaign Sir Hammerlock vs. the Son of Crawmerax, the surviving Vault Hunters from 1 talk about Talon, Mordecai's new mascot and the deceased Bloodwing's sire. Talon being a baby bird, it's prone to biting other people, like Lilith's finger. By the time of the DLC Commander Lilith and the Fight for Sanctuary, Talon grew up as an adult and stopped biting other people. |

Lilo & Stitch: The Series: In "Bad Stitch", Nani is displeased because of Stitch's tendency to destroy things out of frustration. Lilo tries to Tame His Anger through various tactics from a book about dog training, but none of them are successful. When Lilo says they can't afford to keep Stitch if he doesn't curb his destructive tendencies, he goes to see Professor Gunther Freem (actually a disguised Hämsterviel), who reverts him back to his old feral personality. However, Lilo snaps him out of this state by telling him that she loves him. Though by the ending, Stitch hasn't completely overcome his tendency to break things when it's shown that he tore through the living room to find glue. | |

In another episode, "D.W.'s Furry Freak-Out", D.W. tries to adopt a cat, but she's destructive and disobedient, even to the point where she thinks she doesn't like cats anymore. She tries to train her, but fails, until her real owner shows up, brings her back, and reveals that she responds to music. |

My Cat from Hell is about cat behaviorist Jackson Galaxy training people's misbehaving cats, though at least as often he trains the people on the appropriate way to take care of a cat (setting appropriate expectations on how the cat will behave, how to place the cat's litter box and food dish to make it feel comfortable, or how to avoid doing things that stress out the cat and cause it to lash out in frustration or fear). | |

The Loud House: In "A Mutt Above", Lana wants to enter her dog Charles in a dog show, but, while not particularly naughty, Charles is unrefined. Her twin sister Lola manages to train him to be sophisticated, but then he loses interest in playing in the mud, so Lana tells him to drop his sophistication. In "Training Day", Stella gets a rabbit named Jazzy, but he is extremely destructive, pees everywhere, and attacks people. She knows Lana is very good at training pets, so she gives him to her to train, but all her attempts fail. Luckily, however, it turns out that Jazzy was only acting up because he missed his brother, Snazzy. Once Stella adopts both rabbits, they start behaving themselves. |

In Dennis the Menace and Ruff, Dennis loves Ruff, his pet dog, but his parents and his next-door neighbor, Mr. Wilson see Ruff as a nuisance since Ruff buries his bones in the Mitchells' backyard, leaves muddy pawprints in the Mitchells' house, and licks the dishes. Dennis has to teach Ruff to behave or his parents will send him away. For a while, Dennis succeeds in his lessons, including training Ruff to save a baby from drowning by practicing with his teddy bear, and as a result, Henry reluctantly lets Ruff join them in a party at Uncle Dick's house. On the way to the party, Ruff snatches a police officer's hat, and Dennis is now sure that his parents will send Ruff away. At the party, Dennis' two-year-old cousin, Billy falls into a pond and is in danger of drowning. Ruff sees Billy and rescues him just as Dennis taught him, is praised as a hero, and Henry decides never to send Ruff away after his heroic deed. | |

My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic: In the subplot of "Forever Filly", a filly named Zipporwill has been having trouble with her dog Ripley, who's been refusing to listen to her anymore. Sweetie Belle determines that (just like she'd been with her big sister Rarity), Ripley feels patronised — he's a full-grown dog, yet Zipporwill calls him "puppy" and gives him puppy toys to play with. Once she starts calling him by name and giving him more age-appropriate toys, he starts listening to her again. | |

Martha Speaks: In "Skits Behaves", the Lorraines become frustrated with the misbehaviour of their dog Skits. Helen tries various techniques on him, but none of them work. Her other dog, Martha, reveals that her housebreaking took a long time, and sometimes with dog training, you just need to be patient. In one episode, a large dog named Bob moves in across the road, but he chases people and won't stop barking. Helen and Martha make several attempts at teaching him manners, but none of them work. Eventually, however, it's revealed that when he is complimented, he becomes a Big Friendly Dog, and he was only being aggressive because his owner was calling him a "bad dog". |

How to Train Your Dragon: In the first book in the series, Hiccup and the Hooligan boys take dragons from a cave. They have to train their dragons to hunt and obey basic commands by the time Thors'day Thursday rolls around, as there will be a dragon training tournament. However, it is not easy for Hiccup to teach Toothless the lazy brat to follow his orders, especially since it's said that dragons don't ever feel true love for their owners. This changes in the end when Toothless remembers how kind Hiccup was to him and saves him from the Whispering Death (though Toothless is still somewhat of a brat in later books). | |

Star Trek: The Next Generation: In one episode, Geordi babysits his friend's cat, only for her to cough up a hairball and break a vase. He tells said friend, Data, that Spot needs to be trained, so Data tries verbal commands, but they don't work. We never learn what became of Data and his attempts to train Spot. | |
