1. Diet Matters
What your dog eats directly affects their energy, behaviour, and overall health. Choose high-quality, protein rich, balanced meals suited to their age, breed, and activity level — and don’t forget portion control! 🍗🥦
2. Not All Dogs Want to Cuddle
We have dogs in our lives as companions, often expecting them to want to affection we want to give them, but just like people, every dog has their own comfort zone. Respect their space and learn their body language — it’s the key to trust and safety. ❤️🐕
3. Ignoring Behaviours Won’t Make Them Go Away
Unwanted behaviours like barking, jumping, or mouthing will happen more often they more your dog has the opportunity to rehearse them. Dont rely on your dog simply growing out of the behaviour. Make sure you're meeting their needs and showing them through the use of clear communication systems what is correct and incorrect. 🦴💬
4. Emotions Are Contagious
Dogs are sensitive to our emotions. If you’re stressed or anxious, they can feel it too. Dogs are hard wired to read our body language, so small nuances in the way you move and the tone of your voice aren't lost on them. Be the energy you want to see from your dog 💛🐾
5. Your Dog Needs More Exercise Than You Think
A quick 20-minute walk around the same route every day isn't enough! Most dogs need both physical and mental exercise daily. Keep things fresh, try new routes, play with your dog, or teach new tricks to keep their mind sharp and body fit. 🚶♀️🐾
