Play More ~ Pet Less



Do you find this to be true?  We want to show our dogs how much we love them so we grab them and pull them to us only to have our dog squirm and wiggle away and then sometimes they won't even come close to us; they stay just out of our reach.

We feel so disappointed and sad that our dog doesn't like us; let alone love us.

Dogs do like affection but what is happening here is that some dogs just don't need all that Lovin' and they would rather have something else from you ~ PLAY!!

I see a lot of folks "Begging" their dog for affection! People may think More Love/Petting, More Good Boys/ Good Girls will make their dog love them back. Usually this backfires. Forcing yourself on your dog is not fair to either you or your dog and it won't get you what you want. It is important to really look at who is enjoying this type of interaction. Probably neither of you.

If you were to Play More and Pet Less, your dog may become more interested in you and then become more accepting of your affection.

You say your dog doesn't want to play with you?

1.Try ignoring your dog for a few days.
2. Use their dogfood like a toy. Lure them with your hand.
3. Play with the toy your dog enjoys the most.
