You can also give them fetishes so they like the big obedience increasing actions you can do once a day, instead of hating them.
If they have the exhibitionist fetish, instead of losing affection when you "inspect" them, they gain 10. If they are a masochist, they like getting spanked instead of hating it. And I forgot what fetish makes them like getting molested. If you have all three, you can get +30 affection per day performing these actions. Which makes them love you after just 7 daily visits.
