Did you know that the best time to be friends with your dog and forming a lifelong attachment is when you first bring them home?
It’s all about first impressions
Make sure you prepare everything you need for your new friend’s arrival (a cozy bed, food and drink bowls, some fun toys, and, of course, their favorite food!) before they arrive.
If you’re bringing a puppy home, having an old t-shirt or piece of clothing that smells like its mother will help them relax and ease into a new and rewarding relationship with you.

Starting at a young age
Teach them the fundamentals (such as sit, come, stay, and so on) and then progress by teaching them tricks.
Some dog breeds, such as Spaniels and Border Collies, are high-energy, intelligent, and eager to please. They could be leaping over hoops and dashing through tunnels before you know it!
Spend time with your dog
Sitting on the couch together, going for a walk, playing games with them, grooming them, or even giving them a doggie massage will all help you form a stronger bond.

Assist them with socializing with new friends
It’s critical that your dog feels at ease in various situations, especially if they’re still a puppy. Taking your dog to socialization classes will help them become accustomed to other dogs and sounds. And knowing that you are always available to assist them throughout this stage of their development will enhance your bond even more.
Play games to be friends with your dog
What dog doesn’t enjoy a good game? Whether you’re playing fetch, catch, hide and seek, or tug of war with your dog, it’s always a good time – and it’s also a good exercise for them.
Learn the language they speak
Dogs don’t talk, but they can surely let you know if they want something. If they think it’s mealtime, or if they haven’t been for a walk in a while. When you get to know your dog well, you’ll be able to tell how they’re feeling. Like are they hungry, cheerful, want to play, or sick? In addition, you’ll be able to learn their language and take appropriate action if you have a strong bond with them.

Praise and recompense
Always praise your dog when he does what you ask! And don’t be hesitant to reward them with a small treat. They’ll quickly learn that if they comply, they’ll get something wonderful!
Never scold your friends
If you yell or punish your dog, you will never be friends with your dog. Instead, they will be terrified, bewildered, and stressed as a result of this. Instead, work with your pet to teach them how to behave properly. Try using a command like “Watch” which will urge your pet to do something different instead of the unpleasant behavior. It will help them change positively!
Dogs see you as their family, all they want to do is be your friend. They are eager to please and will love you no matter what. Of course, they will also do anything for a treat!
