Importance of Family Bonding
Family bonding is crucial for dogs, as they are social pack animals that thrive on companionships. Experts estimate dogs became domesticated nearly fifteen thousand years ago and since then, they haven’t left our sides. A strong bond between a dog and its owner can be beneficial in many ways. A good relationship can provide your pet with a sense of safety and security, lowering stress and anxiety. Dogs that are in-tune with their owners are also generally better behaved, as they can pick up social cues and appropriate behaviors from family members more easily. Some fun ways you can improve your bond with your pet includes:
- Exercise: A hike, a game of fetch with SodaPup’s Natural Rubber Flying Disc, or a going out for a swim can be a great and healthy way to pass time with your pooch.
