Living With Dogs
Most people think of their pet dog in its typically upbeat mood when he or she greets you effusively after you have had a difficult day at the office. Your dog is probably aware of your mood and immediately tries to cheer you up by bringing you your slippers or doing little tricks.
Being slobbered all over by your dog when you arrive home can be a bit irritating, but usually you end up in a better mood as a result. It is highly likely that you will find yourself grabbing a leash and taking your dog for a nice long walk, which is much needed by both of you.
A pet becomes an integral part of a household if it has been brought up with the same people since it was a cute ball of fluff of six weeks old and has come directly from its mother. It is wonderful to see a naughty puppy grow into a strong, loyal pet that is clever and appealing.
Many dogs cannot bear to have their owners out of sight and follow them from room to room in the house. If you are working on your computer, your dog would prefer to have a nap in the corner than go outside. If you go to the kitchen, for instance, the dog will probably follow you out of curiosity.
The funny thing about dogs is that they often pay more attention to their owners than spouses and the rest of the family do. Dogs display unconditional love. They are endlessly patient and forgiving. We can learn a lot from dogs.
No matter how much you appreciate your dog, you might not be in favor of your dog sharing your bedroom. There are plenty of people who are only too happy to have their dog sleep in their bedrooms, or even on the foot of their beds. They feel safe having a dog present throughout the night.
Having any kind of allergy need not be a hindrance to owning a dog. Believe it or not, dog breeders are developing breeds that do not shed the fine skin that make people have an allergic reaction and get ill.
If you are bringing home a puppy and you already own mature dogs, then you should be sensitive about introducing them to the new arrival. They will probably feel that they have been replaced in your affections, so it is important to keep paying them attention. Do this, and the older dogs will end up babying the puppy right along with you!
Suddenly introducing a new human baby into a house where there are dogs can be upsetting and confusing for your pets. Ladies, ask your partner to introduce an item of clothing smelling of the baby to the dogs so they can get used to the new smell. The transition will be easier for them if you do this.
In a matter of month your baby will be a toddler, and will probably climb all over the family dogs, pulling ears and tails and generally testing your dogs' patience. Show you dogs lots of love and they will show the same consideration for your toddler.
Dogs love to ride in cars and to go with you when you take a trip to the country. With its head hanging out of the car window, your dog will be in paradise even if you drive a block or two.
Training your dog is of course important if you want peace in the home. If you take a little trouble in this regard, you will reap the rewards. Fortunately dogs are eager to please their masters, so teaching them manners is relatively easy.
You will want to teach your dog not to jump on others, to sit and stay, and to be quiet if you tell the dog to stop barking. Just as a wild dog follows the head dog, your dog will follow your lead. It is no wonder they call a dog a human being's best friend!
