Every time your dog/cat gets a 
they get +1 training point.
Every time they get a
it's +3
An easy way (for the dogs at least) is to have them gathered around your character and throw the bone at the wall. It'll bounce off it and towards your character again, and you can just pick it up and throw it (because every time your pet sees you throw their training item they get a )
It goes faster than waiting for them to run towards it and back again, and (for the dogs, anyways) they don't have to actually pick the bone up.
As for cats...
just let them bat it around, and just watch it to see if it goes out into the barn/door/basement. You'll just have to go out and pick it up, then go back inside and throw it for them again....

You know the track?
it's in the lowest left-hand corner of the [world] map. (go past Lloyd's house)
There'll be two different training courses, one is time-based while the other counts consecutive-jumps.

Horse Training
The horse's Friendship Points (hearts) determine its maximum top speed when running and its Training Points help to increase the amount of FP you can earn when riding the horse at the race track. Basically, "training" the horse speeds up the time it takes to reach 10 hearts. The horse doesn't herd anything like the dog or cat does.
Each heart the horse has is 100 FP. To increase its friendship, you can do the normal tasks like riding it each day (+3 FP), feeding it (+1), brushing it (+3), and talking to it with the Stethoscope tool (+3). It will take a long time to increase its friendship if you just do the basic things. With a low FP level, the horse won't be very fast.
To unlock the race track, walk to the pile of boulders to the west of Lloyd's house after you own a horse. You'll meet up with Felix and Wilbur, who will destroy the boulders so you can use the track.
After the boulders are gone, you can ride your horse to the track. When you arrive, you can choose to Practice or view the scores of your previous Practice Records. When you are in Practice mode, you have 3 laps around the track to jump over the track hurdles. The game will record how many times you jump over the hurdles without bumping into an object. The highest number of successful jumps you make will be the amount of Training Points you earn for that day.
Only your first Practice run of each day will give you the maximum number of TP. If you try to practice a second time in the same day, you'll only earn 1 TP no matter how many times you jump over the hurdles.
(You can race backwards if you're really trying to earn a large TP combination.)
After you have passed your three laps, your horse will earn Friendship Points depending on the number of training stars it has; 0 stars is +5 FP, 1 star is +6 FP, 2 stars is +7 FP, and so on. The maximum Friendship Points you can earn for finishing a practice run is 15 FP (10 stars).
i actually asked this same question a while ago cuz it was irritating me.
if you throw the bone/bell, and they get the mark, just go and pick up the bone/bell and put it in your rucksack. then you automatically get a 
note. it speeds up training ALOT, especially for the cats. it also works if you throw the bone/bell into another room or into the basket. i personally prefer the rucksack tho
