Understanding Your New Canine Companion

We all love our dogs. They have a way of worming their way into our hearts and into our lives. They depend on us for everything, and we come to depend on their company.

That said, it’s important for us to remember...

• Dogs are NOT little furry people!

• They don’t think like us.

• They don’t interact with the world like we do.

• Each dog has its own personality.

• Each dog has its own instincts,and even its own emotions.

If you keep these in mind, you’re on your way to understanding how your dog thinks.

Living with a Creature of Another Species

When you think how different we are from dogs, it’s really quite amazing that it works as well as it does.

One of the things that make dogs so special is that they are willing and eager to adapt to our human environment. After all, their lives with us are very different from the way they would live in the wild.

But for this to work, you have to meet your dog half way.

• You can’t expect your new dog to know how to fit into your life or into your family.

• You can’t expect them know what want from them...that's where training comes in.

• You need to find a way to communicate with them.

• Finally, you need to teach them how to communicate with you.

You’ll find many ideas here that will help you to understand your dog better. You’ll learn to think like your dog. You’ll also learn how to take care of him...mind...body...and soul.
