NathanPraise Them
Praising your dog will definitely help strengthen the relationship you have with your pup. If you constantly give them verbal and physical praise, your dog will certainly feel better and happier. You can do this by petting them and giving them positive comments in a perky manner. You do not have to use this tactic only while training. Just do this every day to make your pet feel loved, wanted and safe.
New Treats
You should also note that switching up treats just like you do toys will benefit your dog. Dogs usually have a variety of favorite treats too. You can always keep them on their toes and give them treat that differ each time. It is exciting for a dog to receive a ‘treat’ that is unexpected and new. They will always get to enjoy a spectrum of their favorite flavors and textures.
Give Them Chores
It is fairly common to try and treat pets like kids because they are often seen as the ones needing guidance and help. But we must remember that they are grown up adults who actually need a purpose and something to do each day. You can give your dog some responsibility by making it carry its treat when you trekking or make them fetch things like keys and shoes. This is actually quite beneficial for their mental stimulation.
Enjoy Spa Dates
It turns out, humans and dogs are not all that different after all. Even they loved to get pampered and treated nicely. Hence, a nice spa day free of stress and everyday woes can prove to be good for you and your faithful companion. You do not necessarily have to take your pet to a luxurious spa, why not create your own spa in the comfort of your own house…?
Open Your Windows
We often forget that dogs have an incredible sense of hearing and smell. They are actually excellent guards that can keep an eye on the house. We cannot spend every waking second with them so they need to learn to be responsible too. If you open your windows, you will help stimulate your dog’s sensitivity and therefore help it become more efficient as a watchman. Make sure your window is not one that can make them run away from home.
