I think my ADD conceptual thinking helps me with animals. By that, I mean that being able to apply a little understanding of animal behaviors to pets in various situations rather than trying to discipline them by more human reactions. My husky would walk to heel without a leash (not usual behavior for huskies), and my indoor cat confines himself to a limited area when let outside (while I sit and watch him though). I try never to show anger towards animals, but would scold them in ways they understand and that would cause no fear or resentment.
Strangely, it’s much harder learning to use the same principles with humans.
