It is important to spend time with your dog. Your dog loves companions. Your dog loves to be pet. Your dog just wants your attention. There are many things you can do to spend time with your dog.
You can go for a walk with your dog each day. Even if you walk for only 20 minutes, you and your dog will benefit from the exercise and time spent together.
You and your dog can take a nap together. If you allow your dog on your furniture the two of you can snuggle on the couch. Watch a TV show or two together and give your dog a pet here and there. Talk to your dog. If you do not allow your dog on the furniture you can set your dog’s bed right by you at the foot of the couch. Your dog is still close to you. You are your dog’s favorite person in the entire world and he or she thrives on your attention.
Training your dog is a great way to spend time together. Make sure your dog knows how to sit and stay before trying to teach him/her any other tricks.
Take your dog to the park once a week to run and play with you. Maybe you live near a dog park. This is a great way to meet other people and your dog can meet other dog friends as well. Dogs run in packs so they do enjoy meeting other dogs although there are some dogs that just do not get along with other dogs. You can try while your dog is on a leash. If your dog still growls and is having a terribly stressful time, at least you tried. Do things alone with your dog instead.
Have fun with your dog. He or she is here for you only for a short time so make the most of it!
