3 Bonding Secrets To Dog Training

Tweet

Are you having trouble getting your dog to listen to what you want it to do? Do you find yourself becoming frustrated with training your dog to sit, calm down or go potty where you want it to?

There are 3 need to know Secrets for dog owners that most dog trainers don't teach. They will help create a lasting bond with you and your dog.  

When I was a teenage girl, I loved caring for stray animals.  People in the neighborhood saw what I was doing and started telling me about strays they saw and one person actually left a puppy on my doorstep one morning. Although I couldn't have pets in my home then, I had 2 cats that would stay around my home and greet me whenever I came outside.  

As I grew up, those who knew me would say I was the "animal lady" because I spent lots of time with animals and connected with them so closely.  I would take strays in, bathe them, feed them, and find them a place to stay.  

In the process of caring for animals, I learned 3 Bonding Secrets that no one can learn from a book.

Secret #1.  Connecting with an animal is not much different than spending time with a person you love.  What do we do to people we love?  We make sure they eat, give them what they need to be in a good environment and most of all, we show them that we love them.  The bonding love from an animal can be a very heart warming experience. Take heed though.  Animals are not DUMB. Most of your domestic animals, if you give them love, they give love back. But your ENERGY has to be right because they know a bluff.  

Secret #2. Animals do not want to be around negative energies.  Those are energies that mean to  harm them or approach them with the wrong attitude. So if you ever become frustrated with training or play time with your dog, take time out until you can come back to the situation.

Secret #3.  Its best to get an animal that matches your level of energy activity. And sometimes its not all about the breed of dog. If you like to go hiking and do lots of outdoor activities, then a high energy dog would be good for you.  On the other hand, if you are an average walker, then you need a dog that fits your lifestyle and that energy level. 

Please go share these 3 Secrets so more animals' lives can be happy.
