Love Your Dog To Train Your Dog

One of the hardest things for new dog owners to recognize is that the best way for them to train their dogs is to love them. You might not think that this is so, because you probably have seen pack leaders in the wild who bite at the less dominant member of the pack and create a situation where they are not able to do as they think that they should be doing. Therefore, it might be hard for some owners to realize that love is really the best way to foster your dog and to create a good relationship.

Love teaches your dog far more than anything else will teach them. A dog is going to be loyal to the one who feeds them when they are hungry and gives them water when they are thirsty. He is going to be loyal to the person that brings him to the vet when he is sick and gives him toys to play with. Loyalty in a dog translates directly into being able to listen and being able to be trained. The more that you can develop a good and solid bond with your dog, the more he is going to listen to you and the more that he will be willing to do the things that you ask.

But, how do you develop this type of relationship? The first thing that you need to remember is that this type of relationship is going to need plenty of time. You need to be able to take the time with your dog that you have always wanted to have, and you need to be sure that you are able to be with your dog whenever you think that you should be. Remember that being together with your dog and spending time together is good, but it is not the only way that you can care for your dog and treat him kindly. Keep your dog healthy, and work on training him with proper methods. This is all time that you can be spending with your dog, and through all of this time you both will learn to trust one another.

Working with  your dog on a daily basis is also a great way to foster the type of relationship that you need to have with your dog in order for him to be the most well behaved dog out there.
