Living with our dog is a long-term relationship. From the dog’s point of view, it can be a few square meters of slavery on chains, but it can also be a quality, meaningful, real dog-owner relationship.
A quality relationship does not involve cuddling, whining, and treating the dog like a child.
When choosing a puppy, consider the temperament of the dog you can keep up with in everyday life. If you don’t have much time for the dog during the day, don’t choose a very agile, task-hungry dog that requires a lot of exercise.
Mentally exhausting your dog is just as important as feeding it the right food, if not more.
Physical exercise alone does not suffice! Many people find that even after a three-hour walk, the dog behaves for about twenty minutes, then becomes just as agile and excitable, sometimes even more out of control than before the walk.
Putting a dog on the treadmill and letting it get tired is not enough.
A dog needs a job, rules, ranking, and authority. Establishing authority works best through consistent rules and joint work, not through intimidation.
