Hello from the dog side! Want to be the favourite in your pup’s eyes? Here’s how you can win the top spot!
1. Feed Me Well
I love food! Regular, tasty meals and healthy treats make me wag my tail. Remember, the way to a dog’s heart is often through their stomach.
2. Let’s Play
Throw my favourite ball, tug on a rope, or run around with me. Playtime is the best time!
3. Keep Me Cozy
A comfy bed and a warm spot to snooze make me feel safe and loved. I enjoy having a special place in the house just for me.
4. Talk to Me
I may not understand all your words, but I love the sound of your voice. It makes me feel connected to you.
5. Learn My Language
Understand my barks, tail wags, and other ways I talk to you. When you get what I’m saying, we bond better.
6. Train Me Gently
Teach me new tricks and how to behave. I like to please you, and treats make learning fun!
7. Walkies Please
I need exercise and sniffing adventures. Walks keep me healthy and happy, and doing it with you is the best!
8. Cuddle Time
I love cuddles and gentle strokes. Quiet time together strengthens our bond.
9. Respect My Quirks
Sometimes I get scared or anxious. Please be patient and help me through my fears without getting mad.
10. Keep Me Healthy
Regular check-ups at the vet keep me in tip-top shape. I rely on you to help me stay healthy and strong.
11. Be Consistent
I feel secure when I know what to expect from you. Consistency in how you treat me and what you expect from me helps a lot.
12. Give Me Space
Just like you, sometimes I need a little time alone. Respect my space when I retreat to my bed or a quiet corner.
13. Protect Me
Keep me safe from harm. I trust you to look out for me, whether it’s keeping me away from dangerous foods or on a leash near busy roads.
14. Love Me Unconditionally
Even on my bad days, love me. I always love you, no matter what.
