Simple, walking everyday with your dog. Period. Nothing comes close to this. You can teach your dog tricks and cuddle with him and give the best food and treats but without those daily walks the bond between you may probably not be complete or respectful. On the other hand, just walking your dog regularly, albeit doing this with structure and meaning, will provide the basic info the dog needs. Dogs are the happiest when spending time with their person and will do absolutely anything to please you, it is us who have to convey the message clearly on what this is. Too many times the owners humanize the dog and treat them like another human being. This is not the way to establish a proper relationship. I provide various methods to correct this or to teach, depending on the dog and person, on creating a healthy environment filled with love and respect and, most notably, for mutual happiness. Finally, not related to the topic but there is a quote by Will Rogers I want to share:
“If there are no dogs in Heaven, then when I die I want to go where they went”
