How To Be Close To Your Dog

---

This article outlines the different ways that we can be close to our dog and create long lasting bonds between you and your dog.
Outlined are 9 different ways that you can build a closer bond with your dog and obedience train her I would like to share with you the 9 ways to bond with your dog, especially for young puppies that have just come into your household. 1 Give your puppy full attention when you pet, stroke her ears, belly rub her.
I know it is very tempting to pet your dog when watching television, on the computer or phone. Please refrain from doing this from now on.
Your dog is a very sensitive being and can pick up vibes from you that you are not fully focused on her and this will lead to her having a sense of being unloved. 2 Learn to hear what your dog is telling you with his or her body language Every moment your dog is trying to tell you her feelings, for example, jumping up excitedly when you come home is telling you how much she missed you.
Other signs are like wagging her tail, snuggle close to you, licking you. So, learn what she is saying and respond to her as appropriate.
3 Communicate with your dog visually in a consistent manner Dogs respond to visual stimulus and your tone of voice not the actual commands. So, all commands have to be communicated with tone of voice and visual sign, like say Sit.
This have to be consistent or else your dog will be confused and do not know how to react. Taking the example Sit, combine the command with a hand signal of your hand moving down and making her do the sit position whenever you give this command and hand signal 4 Spend quality one on one time with her Spend at least 30 minutes with her just sitting together 5 Have a good cuddle session Cuddle up once in a while 6 Fit in some fun time for her whether fetch or whatever activity that she finds fun Different dogs will find different activities to be fun.
So, find out what excites her and fit in some time to play her favourite activity with her, be it fetch, running round in circles, tug of war. Personally, my dog likes to play tug of war where she will bite her toy and asks me to get it from her.
7 Make your walks as opportunity for communication time Most dogs look forward to the time when you take her out for a walk. She will be overly excited and may strain on her leash.
Use this time to communicate with her and train her on more commands and use this time to do obedience training. 8 Give each other some space and time alone.
It is imperative that you give each other some private time alone. During these times, just communicate clearly to her that this time slot, you need to do your work and she should not disturb you and encourage her to rest, and to be alone.
9 Be Cool As pointed out in point 1, dogs are sensitive beings and can pick up our vibes in our tone of voice. So, if you are angry or stressed out, your dog can pick it up and therefore should be avoided when with your dog.
She will then also feel stressed and scared of you and thereby causing a rift between you and her. That is all ! Have a roaring good time with your dog.
