Indy Dog Whisperer: Becoming the best dog parent you can be, tips for parenting your pooch in a Canine Way
Parenting a dog take much different techniques than parenting a child. Nathan Lowe, the Indy Dog Whisperer, joined us today to explain some of those differences and teach dog owners to be the best pet parent possible.
1. Rules before relationship
- Canine parents set boundaries early by growling and snapping
- Dogs almost always determine rank among themselves before socializing
- Form a relationship with your dog under your leadership (establish authority FIRST!)
2. Vigilant Protection
- Don’t put your dog in scenarios where they feel the need to be self-defensive
- Step in if your dog feels threatened
3. Social bonding
- Have nap times together
- Explore as a group
- Play in a focused way
