bonding with your dog

Here are some simple tools for establishing a life long bond with your dog: 1) Before you go to get your dog, pick out a soft, big, warm shirt you wouldn't mind giving up. Sleep in that shirt for a week or so, and don't wash it. When you get your new dog, put the shirt in the dog's new bed, or in his crate. That way he will learn your smell, and draw comfort from it. 2) Let your dog stay in your bedroom at night, although not necessarily on your bed! He will feel safe in his dog crate or dog bed in your room. 3) Spend some time with your dog , one on one. 4) Introduce your dog to grooming with a soft brush or brushing glove. Your new pet will enjoy the close contact and also learn what grooming feels like. You can talk to your dog while you groom him, even sing to him, if you want. 5) Take your new pet to obedience classes, whether it is a puppy play group, or canine good citizen training. if u want to read more interesting articles, u can visit my blog at http://seraphime-enjoythislife.blogspot.com/ wish u hv a nice day ^^
