| Success = The animal pushes itself on its next action (or actions), despite its own limitations.  Doing so causes the animal to take 1d6+1 points of non-lethal damage and gain the [[Fatigued]] condition.  If the animal is already [[Fatigued]], it takes 4d6+5 points of non-lethal damage and becomes [[Exhausted]], instead.  If the animal is already [[Exhausted]], it takes 10d6+20 points of non-lethal damage and becomes [[Incapacitated]], once it completes the requested exertion. An animal brought to [[Incapacitated]] by the ''push an animal'' command will die unless all damage it has taken, including non-lethal damage, is cured within 1 minute of gaining that status condition.

Non-lethal damage caused by the ''push an animal'' command cannot be mitigated by an animal's DR or ER, or any other mitigation ability it may have, unless it specifically applies to reducing damage caused by exertion (e.g. as from [[Endurance (Feat)]]).

| Failure = The animal refuses the command on its next action.  Instead, it uses the action normally required for the trick or action to act annoyed. If the action requested takes longer than 1 round (e.g. Hustle or Forced March), the animal refuses all commands for 1 minute per point you missed the DC of the check by.
