Here are some ways in which you can psychologically manipulate your pet: 
1. Establish a dominant/subordinate relationship - Showing your pet who is the "leader" of the household and creating an emotional and physical hierarchy helps to exert control. 
2. Apply verbal cues, tones and physical posturing - These techniques allow you to instruct or cue your pet while giving them subtle, mixed messages that reinforce desired behaviours or actions. 
3. Leverage environmental conditioning - Making subtle changes to their environment (e.g., adding treats in different locations or playing calming music) can help increase positive behavioural responses when commanded. 
4. Provide incentives and rewards – Offering treats for performing certain tasks, playing favourite games, etc., will boost their confidence levels and help to build trust between you and your pet as it reinforces desired behaviours . This might include using food rewards for more desirable behaviour; withholding food as punishment or providing additional food when a task is accomplished; providing extra play time or attention when goals are met; allowing a previously unfavoured item into possession if all goals for the day have been accomplished).

Here are some ways in which you can psychologically manipulate your pet:
- Creating an arbitrary reward system and withholding privileges until the desired behavior is observed. 
- Using verbal affirmations to positively reinforce desired behaviors. 
- Appealing to your pet's egocentrism by emphasizing their value in the owner's life.  
- Utilizing fear stimuli, such as sudden loud noises, flashing lights or the presence of other scary animals, to make your pet more likely to follow commands.
