Now that we have entered a new millennium, this article looks for easier, less time consuming, less intense ways to live successfully with your dog.

It suggests ideas and ways of avoiding many day-to-day problems using the principle of reducing stress. By making walks more pleasurable for both owner and dog and getting this relationship on a happier footing, several problems can be easily overcome.

The ownership of any pet is something that many of us take a great deal of time deliberating over.

Many households would not seem like home without at least one addition from the animal world. So how can we make dog ownership as easy as possible and what does the average owner require from their pet?

  1. A dog that can happily be taken for a walk and ignore other dogs.
  2. A dog that comes back when he’s called.
  3. A dog that is quite happy to be left at home when you go to the doctors, dentists, etc. or when the weather is too warm to take him out.
  4. A dog that knows how to greet visitors politely.
  5. A dog that is no problem in the car.
  6. A dog that leaves the garden looking reasonably presentable.
  7. A dog that lives happily with other family members.
  8. A dog that is clean in the house.
  9. A dog that is a good friend and companion.

So, How Do We Get This Near Perfect Dog?

To get the dog that we want, it is often necessary to change a few ways that we live with the dog, or ideas that we have had about dog-ownership. Some people find this very difficult to take on board!

Just remember if there is something about the way your dog behaves that you would like to change, you have to try something different.

“If you always do what you’ve always done, you’ll always get what you’ve always got!”
Perhaps not grammatically correct but you get the picture!”
