Dogs are our faithful friends who trust us immensely. They look at their owner with respect and love, and it is we who are responsible for their health and happiness. But often, without even thinking about it, people make mistakes that harm the dog and destroy the relationship with them. There are some things that a true owner should never be allowed to do – and these are the things that are worth talking about.
1. Never yell or punish physically
Yelling or hitting will not make a dog obedient. They will only break trust and cause fear. The animal stops learning and begins to live a life of tension. True training is built on consistency, calmness and proper encouragement. Remember: the dog may not understand your words, but he always feels your mood.
2. Don’t leave your dog unattended
A dog is not a piece of furniture in your apartment. He needs daily interaction: walks, games, socialization. If you leave your pet alone for a long time, he will become bored, anxious or even destroy things. The most valuable thing you can give your dog is your time.
3- Don’t feed from your table
Many foods that we safely consume are dangerous for dogs: chocolate, grapes, onions, fatty and salty foods can cause serious health problems. Feeding “from the table” also spoils discipline: the dog gets used to begging and becomes annoying. The food should be balanced and specially selected for your pet.
4. Never ignore grooming and hygiene
Cleanliness is not about aesthetics, it’s about health. Brushing, washing, nail trimming and ear care are things that a dog vitally needs. Dirty hair, tangles or long nails bring pain and discomfort. And regular grooming at a salon is not a luxury, it’s about your pet’s comfort and longevity.
5. Don’t forget about physical and mental exercise
A dog not only needs a walk, but also to exercise his brain. Lack of exercise leads to boredom and undesirable behavior. Playing games, exercising, searching tasks, learning new tricks – all this makes the dog happy and balanced. After all, mental exercise is as important as physical walks.
Conclusion
A dog is a family member who is completely dependent on us. Never punish with a yell or a hand, never neglect, don’t feed what is harmful, don’t ignore grooming, and don’t deny them the opportunity to learn and grow. Caring builds trust, and trust is the foundation of a friendship that lasts a lifetime. And remember, a dog always loves you unconditionally, so the only thing he asks in return is your love and care.
