How can my dog ​​trust me? The 7 easiest ways

The dog's relationship with his beloved human is a lifelong relationship. A relationship full of love that will beautify the everyday life of both. However, love alone is not enough for this relationship to be balanced. Your dog should also trust you. Let him know that he can rely on you and that he need not be afraid.

For some dogs this is easier, while others find it difficult to trust people, often because they have had bad experiences.

In any case, there are several things you can do to show your dog that he can trust you:

  • Express your love : Hugs, toys and caresses calm and promote a positive mood in your pooch.
  • Never use violence : Any form of verbal or physical abuse can only harm your dog, will worsen his relationship with you and will not help his training either.
  • Meet his needs in a timely manner : If you give your four-legged friend what he needs, when he needs it, whether it's a walk or food or a toy, you'll show him that you know what he wants and how to meet it.
  • Show dynamism : Dogs, like children, need boundaries. This way they feel safe, since they see in your face the leader of the pack. So you should set rules that you will stick to.
  • Train the dog in basic commands : Whether to do basic training or more advanced commands depending on the breed of dog is your decision. However, your dog must obey some rules that ensure his safety on the walk and generally improve his behavior.
  • Be cool and realistic : Not all dogs are the same, nor do they have the same needs and abilities. It's all about knowing what to expect each time, not stressing and keeping your cool in difficult situations.
  • Give time : Even the most skeptical dog with your time and love will trust you and show you its best. And on the other hand, even the most confident and confident dog will have times when he will need time and patience from you.

By building trust with your loyal friend every day, you will see him blossom by your side and offer you his selfless love in abundance!
