Ways To Get Your Dog Feeling Respected

By Eric Courtney

If you are a dog lover and spend a lot of time with your pet, you must have noticed how much notice they take of how you behave and do their utmost best to please you. There are quite a few ways to show our love for your dog, these are just a few.

We can show our dogs that we love them in the same way as we would a child, with cuddles and a gentle touch. Dogs, like us, need to feel loved.

A gentle embrace or pat on the back is essential in building a loving relationship between a dog and his owner, it id the main form of communication and with dogs, actions really do speak louder than words.

If you have a small dog letting them sit on your knee while you pet them is mutually enjoyable. A bigger dog can lie beside you to be petted.

Don't be greedy with your affection and wait until they've done something well to pet them. Give them a cuddle for no reason, just to show that you love them. If you've been out at work all day, give them a hug when you come in.

One of the easiest, and sadly most neglected, ways to show your dog how much you love them is taking them out for walks. They love being out in the open air but spending quality time together can create a real bond between pet and owner.

A dog should be rewarded if they do well, so keep a specific treat for praise. As dogs are intelligent, they will be delighted when you give them a variety of different treats for no other reason than to show that you love them.

Even if you have a special bond with your dog they may have to spend long periods alone, so maybe a companion is the answer.
