Adult Dog – Your Dog Is Older Now, So Treat Him With More Respect & Understanding
You give your dog food and shelter in
order to keep him alive. But there are three other things that he needs in
order to stay healthy, happy, and improve the quality of his life. First, he
needs regular exercise to keep his body in shape. Second, his mind needs to be
stimulated to keep him alert and occupied. And third, he needs to be socialized
continually in order for him to stay confident and happy.
Keep Your Adult Dog Entertained And
Avoid Punishing Him For Sudden Mistakes
Dogs feel sadness when their family
tends to ignore them or do not spend enough quality time with them. And when
dogs get sad, they act up by displaying negative behaviors. This includes
chewing, digging, barking incessantly, and they may even run away. These adult
dogs are not acting bad on purpose. They are just reverting back to their
natural canine behaviors in order to entertain themselves. And since they
cannot communicate with words, they communicate with action.

Don't Just Love Your Dog When He's Good
Learn to love your pet unconditionally
and when he misbehaves, try to seek out the reason for the behavioral problem
instead of scolding or punishing the dog.
Remember that he is an adult now and is probably very well behaved most,
if not all the time. This means that when he lashes out and does something
wrong, it is typically related to an underlying cause which you can treat with
success. Something may be lacking or out of balance with your dog. Find the
cause and then provide the solution.
Keep Your Adult Dog Socialized
Sometimes as our dogs get older and
become more mature, we tend to not take them out as much as we did when they
were puppies. This is quite understandable since adult dogs seem to enjoy just
lounging around the house in their adult years and watching TV with you.
However, to keep your dogs' mind stimulated and his social skills intact, do
your best to take him out as often as possible to greet other people and other
dogs.
