Dogs in themselves are called the best friends of men, there is the concept that they are intelligent and loyal, and there are still some steps to follow that will demonstrate how to win the affection of a dog.

The great dog trainers recommend that the dog should be treated as if it were in a pack and that the leader of the pack should be its owner and not the other way around. They also agree that among the big mistakes is treating dogs as if they were human, of course this does not indicate that they are not given much love and that they are treated with respect; if a person has a pet it is to keep it in the best conditions.

Dogs have the instinct to live in a pack and feel more confident and secure knowing that there is a superior leader who protects and cares for them, that is why the owner earns their respect and it is easier for the dogs to follow orders and rules.

The ideal is when you have a dog as a puppy and begin to educate; what these animals experience in their first year of life is very important and will be noticed for the rest of their lives. This does not mean that if your dog has already turned more than 1 year nothing can be done, with practice and discipline you will be able to improve some of the things, although of course, it will take more time and work.

There are many dogs that have annoying or aggressive behaviors thanks to the education they have received at home, where they are allowed to do what they want, where they become the leaders of the pack, etc., this is how they get certain phobias towards other dogs or for example to children and the behavior can end in unwanted events such as a bite. Having a pet is a very serious commitment and it is not simply giving them food and vaccinating them.

Instructions to win the affection of a dog

  1. Leader: the dog is another member of the household within a pack, but there is a hierarchy that they have to respect, you must be the great leader of the pack together with your partner, if they have children they will continue in the hierarchy and finally the dog, this will make everyone in the house happy, including your canine.
  2. Constancy: the rules must always be clear to your dog, they must not be changing, because you will confuse him; you must establish the limits and do not be scared to do this, your dog will feel well protected and loved. You can congratulate your dog when he follows the rules well, he will feel good, and in this way the canine will have a lot of love and respect for you.
  3. There are no exceptions: if your wish is that your dog does not climb on the beds or that he does not want human food, you should never allow it, because he would be very confused (he would not understand why sometimes yes and others not). So never reward him with this.
  4. Short words: use short words to give commands and always express the same for a single situation, your dog could get confused. If for example you tell your dog down to lie down, you will not be able to use this word to get him out of bed.
  5. Socialize: this aspect will make the dog more affectionate, both with you and with other canines or with other humans; take him out for a walk that will show him the love you have for him and he will learn to live together and make friends. When they leave the house you should always go out first and him after.
  6. His leash: you should get him used to it from 3 months, this will help him to know who is the leader who protects him; if your dog pulls on the leash, yank it dry and say a word for it; he remembers to give him lots of love when he responds well to your commands.
  7. Teach your dog to behave: Give him commands in short words and teach him that performing negative behaviors is not okay, such as barking at someone or being aggressive. Always talk to him without yelling at him, use your natural voice.
  8. Prizes: these learn much more with prizes and positive reinforcements, never use punishment, you can do it with treats or caresses. But don’t go to the other extreme, don’t praise him all day. The prizes should be varied, such as treats, activities, caresses, toys, etc.
  9. Affection: Of course you should give your dog a lot of love and affection, but at the right time, never do it when he misbehaves because you would be encouraging him to do it again. If he gets angry or irritated, don’t give him the love.
