10 Super Effective Tips To Keep Your Dog Happy! by stechies: 10:03am On Feb 17, 2020
When you come home after a long day at work, we are sure no matter how weary you feel, your spirits are lifted the minute your dog comes bounding towards you! Nothing beats the unconditional love that a dog can give you. Dogs are always ready to give and receive love. They bring so much joy into our lives that it’s hard to explain to someone who does not have dogs!

When your dog adds so much to your life, you know that you want to do everything in your power to make it happy. So, here are 10 ways that you can make your dog happy!

[size=14pt]1. Bring your dog lots of toys to play with![/size]

Remember how happy you used to get when your parents bought you toys as a child? Your dog feels the same way! Dogs love to play with different types of toys such as chew toys, balls, squeaky toys, and even tug ropes. Make sure that there are enough toys at home for your dog to be entertained no matter what mood he/she is in. Over time, you will notice that your dog has a favourite toy too!

[size=14pt]2. Help your dog make friends![/size]

Now, our instinct is to keep our dogs away from others to prevent a fight. But dogs love to socialise and play. If you have a puppy, take him/her to the home of a friend who also has a similarly aged pup. Conversely, if you have space and time, get two puppies together. This will ensure that your dog never feels lonely and has someone to play with. If you have more than one dog, you probably already know how strong the bond between two dogs can be!

[size=14pt]3. Take your dog for regular walks![/size]

No matter how lazy you think your dog is, you can’t skip out on walks! Take your dog out at least once or twice a day just for fun. They will enjoy sniffing the road and taking in new sights. Fresh air is great for your dog and so is the exercise. Don’t make the walk too long in the summer months as you don’t want your dog to feel hot!

[size=14pt]4. Give your dog a ton of belly rubs![/size]

If there’s one thing dogs love the most, its tummy rubs! They go nuts with joy if you just rub their tummies a few times. Some dogs respond by shaking their hind legs while others just go into a stupor! As a dog lover, you’ll certainly enjoy these sessions more than your dog! Nothing beats watching them feel super happy.

[size=14pt]5. Give your dog lots of treats![/size]

Biscuits and chew-sticks are very popular treats loved by dogs all over the world. Most dogs go ga-ga over these treats and want to be rewarded with them all the time. Apart from making them happy, some of these treats also serve a larger purpose. They help get rid of plaque on your dog’s gums, which can prevent heart disease in your dog! This little trick won’t just make them happy, it will help save lives too!

[size=14pt]6. Vocalise your love for your dog![/size]

Many pet owners are often caught talking to their dogs or making random noises! For an outsider who doesn’t own dogs, this may seem bizarre. But the truth is, it comes naturally with being a dog owner! Your dog is a part of your family and needs to know you love it. Expressing that love by simply saying “I love you” or speaking to it in baby talk is a great way to go about it! Some dogs even respond back by howling while others soak up the beautiful moment while wagging their tails!

[size=14pt]7. Feed your dog good food![/size]

Like any living being, your dog needs to follow a nutritious, healthy diet. Without that, he/she can get very sick or suffer from deficiency diseases. Different breeds have different dietary requirements that you must note down for example dietary requirements of a toy breed pug will be less then [https://www.dogspot.in/rottweiler/]Rottweiler breed[/https://www.dogspot.in/rottweiler/]. Once you know about your dog’s nutritional needs, make sure you give it a balanced diet. You must feed your dog breakfast, snacks and dinner at the very least! While planning their food, you should also remember not to overfeed them. The aim is not to make their overweight. That can result in serious health problems!

[size=14pt]8. Groom your dog regularly![/size]

If you’ve ever had to wrestle your dog into the bathroom for bath time, you know the struggle is real! Many dogs hate bath time and will do anything to get out of it. This may make you think that your dog doesn’t need to be bathed, but that is not true.

Like humans, dogs feel great when they are fresh and clean. You should get them shampooed, their nails clipped, their ears cleaned and their anal glands cleaned when you go for their grooming session. You don’t have to do this every month. The frequency of grooming depends on the breed, lifestyle habits and hair length!

[size=14pt]9. Give your dog a loving environment![/size]

Dogs are very sensitive, just like children. They respond to your mood and behave accordingly. If you create a calm and loving home for your dog, she/he will grow up to be friendly, loving, and ready for fun. But, if you frequently yell at your dog, scare or hurt him/her, your dog will be very unhappy. Dogs need stability and care. They need warmth and affection. Make sure you can give them all this and more. After all, they give you unconditional love every day!

[size=14pt]10. Play with your dog![/size]

Most dogs, even the lazy ones, are always happy to play with their owners. This is because it gives them a chance to bond, interact, and have fun. So, play games with your dog as often as you can! Fetch is a great game (even if your dog never brings the ball back!).

All it takes is love and compassion to keep your dog happy! Make sure that your darling knows how important he/she is to you, and you will always have a happy dog!
