Relaxing can also be accomplished through activities like jogging, swimming, playing sports, extreme activities like mountain hiking. Bonding with your dog is also another form of making him feel that you have time for him thus eliminating the chances of having dog behavior problems which is mostly rooted from isolation.
You have a lot of options and you can spend that quality time how ever you wish. Through the following activities, you will be able to let him feel that you have time for him.
The first on the list: Teaching tricks to your dogs. Teaching him tricks is hitting two birds with one stone. First, his boredom will be eased and secondly, you are giving him an opportunity to learn and get stimulated.
Whenever you are watching television or whatever you are doing that gets his attention, let him sit beside you. Isnt it good to feel that your dog wants to spend time with you?
Do you know that dogs especially when they are still puppies are like kids too. They are afraid to sleep alone and is looking for bedtime buddies. Why not prepare a crate or den and let him stay in your bedroom.
If you plan to go to park, you can take him with you. Getting yourselves often together recognize you not just as his owner but his master also. So if you will try to teach him more in the future, it will be a bit easier for you.
One good thing about bonding with your own dog is training him how to look up to you as a master. Some of the things that you can do while playing with him is to change the voice’s intonation and modulation. The gestures and your body language are significant elements too in making your dog obey what you have commanded.
Never get your dog punished especially when he is not doing anything wrong. This will affect his recognition of things and will get confused whether he is doing the right thing or not. There’s a big difference with playing and scaring him.
Having a picnic with your dog is a good idea too. Do you know that the more you feed your dog, the more it gets tamed. Take for an example the street dogs that have no masters to feed them. They become wild and aggressive because they always think that it is “survival of the fittest”.
Another great idea is making your dog join a contest. This is a sure fun for both of you. You will both enjoy the healthy competition and at the same time your dog will have the opportunity to meet new friends.
Always remember that quality time will make your dog love and respect you. You should find time to bond with your dog. the reason dog’s are called the man’s best friend is because they are almost always together.
