Loving your Dog

When you want your dog to really thrive and be the best that it can be, you have to nurture it no different than you would nurture a newborn baby into your home. Just as children thrive on structure and discipline, dogs do as well and training is paramount to your dog’s quality of life whether you do it on your own or enroll him/her in a training program.

When placing your dog in a training program, make sure you choose wisely and then follow through. A huge part of the success of any training program is the dog owner’s active involvement and ability to establish themselves as the dog’s master. Being the authority figure over your dog does not mean inflicting corporal punishment. It is wrong to do with children, and it is wrong to do with pets! Be sure to reinforce good behavior and humanely correct misbehavior. Consistency is key in achieving positive results.

Building and maintaining a strong bond with your dog is vital. Provide your dog ample one on one time. Petting your dog, playing with toys, talking to him, or taking him for rides in the car are some ways to strengthen and preserve this bond. Dog ownership should not be a chore, but it is a responsibility that needs to be taken seriously. Dog ownership can be an experience that will enrich your life and that of your dog.

Exercise and Playtime with your Dog

Just like you, your dog doesn’t want to just sit around 24/7. Well, you might, but your dog definitely does not want to. Dogs are active and require stimulation to maintain a healthy disposition. Exercise and playtime give your dog a natural outlet for energy, helps to alleviate boredom, reduces destructive behavior, and help maintains a healthy weight for your dog (dog obesity). The added benefit of exercise and playtime you’re your dog is the human-dog bond.

Just letting your dog run out in the yard does not provide the kind of interactive exercise he needs. Most dogs will not start running around on their own and some dogs require far more than just a daily walk to give them the proper outlet they seek. Play ball or use a rope toy to encourage interactive play. Check out Doggie-Corral for a full line of great dog toys that will give your dog the exercise and playtime it craves with you.

Bonding with your Dog

One of the best ways to bond with your dog is to spend quality time with it. It is not much different from having a child. If you neglect a child, it will not thrive, same way with a dog. Does that mean any attention is better than no attention? Absolutely not. As with a child, constant negative attention over time will lead to serious consequences, for both the child and the parent. Same goes with a dog; it can lead to the dog counteracting by acting out of nature and striking back.

Some great ways to promote a positive loving bond with your dog are:
• Petting, patting, and gently grooming your dog calm, reassures, and makes your dog happy.
• Playtime allows you and your dog to share your dog's joy in movement and games.
• Agility training and obedience training can enhance your relationship and allow your dog to gain confidence by successfully completing tasks and earning positive reinforcement from you.

All simple things one can do with their dog and the paybacks are ten fold over.
