Here are a 5 tips to help you encourage positive behaviour
in your dog.
1. Spend Time Together
Make sure to spend time regularly with your dog. When your
dog sees that you care about him, he is more likely to reciprocate with
gestures of affection, love, and joy. Dogs don’t like to be neglected (just
like us!) and keep looking for your approval. Also, you should never yell at
your dog. Instead, ask him to do things nicely and with a smile on your face.
2. Daily exercise
Depending on the size and how hyperactive your dog is
determines how much exercise they need in a day to keep them healthy. For
example, a German Shepard will need more exercise than a Chihuahua. You can
either take them on a walk, let them run around in the yard, or play a game of
fetch with them.
3. Feed them a Nutritious Dog-Appropriate Diet
What your dogs eat can affect their behaviour. Anxiety,
hyperactivity, irritation, and being destructive can be directly linked to
eating the wrong food. Stick to set meal times and discourage people from
giving your pet food every time they beg. Resist feeling guilty when your pup
shows their cute ‘begging for food’ face.
4. Reward Your Dog
We feel happy when we are praised, and dogs aren’t any different. Pat his head lovingly every time he does something well, especially after the challenges. Constant praises will encourage more good behavior from him and help strengthen your bond. Also, make sure to buy plenty of treats that you can give to your dog as rewards. Remember, dogs like treats way more than their food, and feel special every time they are rewarded with one!
5. Stimulate Your Dog Mentally
