Best Way To Bond with your Dog

Most people feel the more attention that they give their dog the more the dog loves them. This is not always the case. Some people wonder why they give their dog all kinds of attention but the dog will continue to go to the spouse that pays them no mind. This is common with dogs and doesn't mean the dog doesn't love you. If you are always giving the dog tons and tons of attention a more dominant type dog will view you as a lower member of the pack and you will not have a lot of respect from him. He wont have the desire to please you if you are a lower member. Now if your spouse ignores him, he feels the your spouse is higher in the pack and wants to "suck up" to him. Plus higher pack members make the dog feel more secure so they choose to stay close.
If you want more attention from your dog there is things you can do. For example do not pet, talk to, or make eye contact with your dog for 2 days. I know what your thinking already! It sounds mean. Actually it is not at all if you really understand dogs in a pack situation. No matter what though you have to stick to it. The dog must completely be ignored. This is how you will start to assert your self as pack leader. No matter how hard he tries you do not even tell him to go away because that is attention also. On about the 3ard day you can give him some attention but do not over due it. A little a time. Then what I would do that creates the best bond with your dog is walk him. Yep it is as simple as that. Just take him for a nice walk every day or every other day. Make sure he isn't in front of you though. If he is you will need to have him trained or look into how to do it your self. Walking with your dog is one of the best ways to bond with him. It makes them feel like a pack. It really is true too, the more time you walk with your dog the better your bond will be. Give it a shot and make sure to get in the habit of doing it and you will both be better off for it.
