Are you spending enough time with your dog?  We know your schedule is busy.  But when was the last time you really felt a connection with your fuzzy buddy?

Did you know your dog has the emotional capacity of a human toddler?  According to gentle parenting experts at Big Little Feelings, our dogs need a daily dose of attention too.  They need one on one time.  They need to feel loved and appreciated.  At a minimum,  for a few minutes everyday.  

Set a timer, even if it’s only for 10 minutes.  Put the phone down, turn the TV off.  You know what your dog’s favorite game is.  Now go do it.  If you aren’t ready to play, have cuddles.  Do something that makes you both happy.  Remember, your dog can sense your happiness.  It is important to be genuine in these few moments.  It’s even okay if you get a little crazy.  Laugh and play like no one is watching! 

Play or cuddle for a few minutes everyday to improve your connection.  

What does your dog do in return?
