Basic needs like eating, sleeping, and regular preventive care are not the only things dogs need. Happy dogs also need a lot of time with their favorite people. If the four-legged friend is often lonely or bored, the dog’s sensitive soul suffers, and the poor four-legged friend can even develop behavioral disorders.
Healthy, happy dogs are the most beautiful thing their human friends could have. As a two-legged friend, you can do a lot to ensure that your friend with the cold muzzle retains his joy of life for a long time. The following tips are balm for the dog’s soul:
Enough Time For Happy Dogs
The most important thing for happy dogs is spending time with you. Before you get a dog, think about whether you are willing to leave your dog alone for no more than six hours or to go for a walk and play with your pet for at least two, even better, four hours a day.
Especially in the early days, when a puppy or adult dog has just moved in with you, you have to allow for even more time. After all, you have to get to know each other first, and your four-legged friend has to understand the basic rules of upbringing, such as house training, feeding times, and necessary commands. Ideally, plan the furry roommate’s arrival long and carefully in advance and take a vacation for the early days.
Praise Your Dog
Animals often behave differently than humans would like because they simply think differently. Dogs have no evil in their minds and don’t want to harm you if they are up to mischief from your point of view. As a result, they often do not understand why you are scolding them and considering the rebuke to be rejected. Happy dogs are four-legged friends who are often praised. Instead of dominating or punishing your dog for undesirable behavior, reward them for doing something right. It doesn’t always have to be a treat – nice words and a sweet pat are often enough.
Play, Play, Play
Exercise and play are not only indispensable for preventing obesity, but they are also crucial for a healthy dog’s soul. Happy dogs love to spend time with their two-legged friends and fellow dogs and let off steam in the dog playground, during dog sports, or in their garden.
