No matter the breed, active or not, still make an effort to bring your doggo out for a walk. It\u2019s more than getting in that much-needed exercise and bathroom breaks, they produce quality bonding time as well. Ensure that you\u2019re exploring with your furry friend, and not hurriedly trying to get things done. Let him lead the way, and don\u2019t tug whenever he stops to sniff the flowers.<\/p>\n

In any successful relationship, the secret is always communication. The same goes for you and your furry friend, only that it\u2019s harder to get two different species to speak the same language. But it\u2019s not impossible, as with training, you\u2019re actually learning to interact with them. Soon the pooch will understand what kinds of behaviors are negative and which sort would result in a treat in return.<\/p>\n

We all yearn for some degree of privacy and space where we can feel entirely free to be ourselves. Dogs are like that too, they need to feel safe before doing any cool stuff together with you. An easy solution is to give him a place of his own. Pick an area that\u2019s out of the way, make it comfortable and dog-proofed. Be sure to respect his space when he\u2019s in there, meaning it\u2019s a no-trespassing territory.<\/p>\n

Like us humans, doing more of your partner\u2019s love language makes the heart grow fonder. To the dogs, it\u2019s the same, so it\u2019s time to put those sharp eyes to work and discover the things that make your furry friend happy. While you\u2019ll not necessarily agree with all their favorite pastimes, there are ways to make it work. Like if your dog loves digging up the yard, then make a sandbox for your digger.<\/p>\n

We all grow up thinking dogs to be the protector, when in fact they need our protection even more. The human world is intimidating for those who don\u2019t speak the language, which makes why you need to lend them a shoulder to lean on. The things you can do? They\u2019re as simple as telling people not to touch your dog if he\u2019s not into pats, but if he is then that\u2019s fine. No harm in getting more love, is there?<\/p>\n
