I don't really tease my furry babies. Not in any sense that could be mean or confusing to them. But we do have conversations! The horses and I, much like Iamsemisweet and her's. Maj is an old fella now so he gets his way more than he used to, but he is such a stubborn bugger. I remember one time it taking several hours to convince him he really could go through a ditch. I knew why he was afraid of it so I remained very calm, but some of the words I said in my calm voice..... He was a great dressage horse as he has always been very sensitive to my body language. The only time I fooled him was when I was fooling myself. Mo, mister high energy drama llama horse. He is just way too astute for his own good. He usually knows what I want before I do, much like Maj. My dogs know so many words and phrases, and they all three pay such close attention to my face and body language it's pretty difficult to fool them. Even when playing fetch, Nala knows which direction to start running by my body. The only time I can fool her is when it's dark out and she cannot see me as easily. Quig the cat is just not very bright. He is easy to confuse and manipulate.
