1. Being to harsh with your dog and especially in its early years, will have severe consequences to the mental state of the dog. It will leave the dog feeling unwanted and unloved and it might even lead to a depression.
2. Just like human beings it is truly important to not give your dog any more food than it requires. Extra calories will end up as fat and when your dog gains fat it will also slowly loose its vitality and energy only to end up like a sleeping dog torso.
3. Food for people is not dog food. Do not feed your dog food from the dinner table. Ask your VET what is recommended for the specific breed as every breed might require different things for optimal nutritional intake.
4. To take your dog walking can be a fun experience and since your will need to do it every day (or even more times if you have a larger breed dog) you might as well enjoy it. And you probably already know that your dog is not the only one that needs exercise, right?
5. Playing with your dog is not only important to the physique of the dog but it is also an important learning and training tool that will make your dog behave better and your dog and owner relationship will also improve.
6. Attend dog training classes to learn how to properly manage, train and get your dog obey commands. A dog needs to know who is in charge and it is important that you are that leader.
7. Making sure that you show your dog that you love it dearly is vitally important. The feeling of love can erase almost any other error you make and if you let your dog know and feel that you love it in return it will love you back unconditionally.
8. Treat your dog with respect and it will in return respect you back. Even though a dog might not be at the level of intelligence that humans are it is still a highly sophisticated being that should not be taken lightly.
Pet vitality and well being is very important in order to have a fun and joyful Pet. As a pet owner you should spend enough time and energy in teaching your Pet and yourself the best ways to love and respect each other as you will hopefully be together for a long time.
