Bonding with your Dog

Bonding is such a crucial thing to do with your dog. It's how you build trust, love, loyalty, respect and confidence. Activities such as training, hiking, playing, walking, etc. All help to nurture the bond.

We came up with a list of activities to help you better bond with your furry best friend. 

- Schedule in play time

- Quality one on one time

- Train your dog everyday 

- Grooming time

- Understand your dogs body language 

- Stay consistent with your signs; dogs watch what you do more than understanding of a word. Communication is key so it's best you both understand each other. 

- Good ole cuddle session

- Meaningful walks - throw some obedience training in. For example make your dog sit at a corner or before crossing the street.
- Give your dog your full attention while petting them
- Pay attention to your dogs likes and dislikes : by knowing what your dog really enjoys you'll be able to better give them what they like most.
- Remain calm. If you loose your patience that can damage your dogs trust.
