bonding with your dog

Here are some simple tools for establishing a life long bond with your
dog:

1) Before you go to get your dog, pick out a soft, big, warm shirt you
wouldn't mind giving up. Sleep in that shirt for a week or so, and
don't wash it. When you get your new dog, put the shirt in the dog's
new bed, or in his crate. That way he will learn your smell, and draw
comfort from it.

2) Let your dog stay in your bedroom at night, although not
necessarily on your bed! He will feel safe in his dog crate or dog bed
in your room.

3) Spend some time with your dog , one on one.

4) Introduce your dog to grooming with a soft brush or brushing glove.
Your new pet will enjoy the close contact and also learn what grooming
feels like. You can talk to your dog while you groom him, even sing to
him, if you want.

5) Take your new pet to obedience classes, whether it is a puppy play
group, or canine good citizen training.
