The 8 Secrets Dog Owners Should Know
Posted by: John Sommer at January 30th, 2010
1. Don’t yell and shout at your puppy. Remember that a puppy is just a baby and that any major disturbances can have a major impact on its mental state. Extensive shouting can leave the dog feeling inferior and unloved.
2. Do not make your dog overeat. To much food will hurt its physique and will make a major impact on its well being. As your dog gets fat from overeating it will lose its energy and joy and you’ll end up with a fat, lazy and unhappy pet.
3. Food for humans and food for dogs and not the same thing. Many pet owners find themselves giving their dogs leftovers from the dinner table. It is not healthy for a dog to eat human food so instead you should go visit your VET to find out what the right food is.
4. Walking your dog on a daily basis is vitally important to satisfy the basic physical needs of your dog. Smaller dogs will need shorter walks and larger breeds and most above average size breeds will even need more walks per day.
5. Your dog is a living being and it needs exercise often. So instead of just going out for a walk you might want to take it to the park to play. Play with sticks or balls and have your dog run off some of its energy. It will love you for it.
6. Dog training classes are available all over the nation and compared to the benefits of being able to command and control your dog the price is almost ridicules. It is not only about learning how to sit and how to fetch but also how to show your dog that you’re in command.
7. Love your dog. It might seem obvious but just like humans a dog needs to know that it is loved. You can express your love with words and physical gestures. Make it a daily habit to show your dog that you love it dearly.
8. Showing your dog respect and fairness will go a long way. Your dog can sense much more than your think and if it feels that its leader respects it you can be sure that it will respect you back and be much more willing to follow your commands.
Pet health and well being is very important in order to have a fun and joyful Pet. As a pet owner you should spend enough time and energy in teaching your Pet and yourself the optimal ways to love and respect each other as you will hopefully be together for a long time.
