Have you thought that caring for a dog might be too much to handle? It isn't if you keep a few things in mind:
You are the top dog,
You are in charge,
You are the alpha dog,
You are the top dog.
I think you get it by now. If you are not the one calling the shots, then Fido will do it for you. You must maintain control.
This is not to say you must be a tyrant leader. On the contrary, you can maintain control by leading with a firm, but loving hand.
How in the world do I do that?
It is simply a matter of taking charge of all aspects of Fido's behavior. There are the feeding patterns, toilet habits, and socialization to name just a few.
Let's look briefly at these areas.
In order to see that Fido is at optimal health and fitness, you must control his eating patterns. Feeding him at the same time everyday is a must for him to learn proper habits and limit begging between meals.
This will get him in the habit of knowing that if he doesn't eat at that specific time then he will go hungry.
However, an important thing to remember is to read the labels and insure you're giving her the best food possible.
Concerning toilet habits, it is a good idea to take him for a walk or let him outside at the same time everyday. By doing so, your favorite furry friend will learn that out of doors is the only way to 'go'.
Teaching successful socialization will bring happiness to the relationship between you and Fido. When he learns to get along with others, meaning not only people, but other pets too, you will realize a great joy and all that come into contact with him will have pleasure as well.
Ultimately, you must be consistent in all areas of caring for a dog. He will thrive on your loving guidance and you both will be much happier.
