The Four Secrets To A Happy Dog
1. Training
A well-trained dog is a happy dog. But every dog is different, so it’s important to incorporate training techniques that your dog will find fun and engaging
2. Sufficient physical and mental stimulation
Avoid annoying behaviours like chewing, barking and destructiveness by keeping your dog stimulated
3. Consistency is key
It’s the foundation for any form of training. If you are not consistent your dog won’t understand what you want, and you won’t get the results you are looking for
4. There are no bad dogs. Only untrained dogs
Always remember, it’s your responsibility to train and socialise your dog from the start to create good behaviours and a positive relationship that you both enjoy
Dogs do speak, but only to those who know how to listen.
