Be someone your pet chooses to be around. Here are three basic tips to improve your relationship with your pet from his perspective:
1. Listen with your eyes
Your pet is constantly talking to you through his body language and actions. Learn to speak his language and understand his perspective. Be sure to honor what he is saying so your communication is a respectful conversation.
2. Be present
We all have busy lives, and may be expert multitaskers, but your pet needs some of your undivided attention. Set aside special time each day without phones, TV or tablets to truly connect with your pet.
3. Play more
Add more play in your day. Identify what and how your pet likes to play. It can be all fun and games and training definitely should be!
