Whether we are going for a walk or into our daily life the dog is our faithful companion. We don't know much about the dog we live with but that doesn't matter. Dogs are the same everywhere; they love attention and need to be protected just like their human owners.
We may not realize it but dogs like a good scratch behind the ears or you may think your dog is not interested in it. But if you scratch behind the ears and your dog is interested in it then maybe it is because it is done for affection.
Sometimes you need to make sure your dog is getting enough exercise so he can keep fit. Taking your dog out on walks can help as well. You need to get him regular exercise just like us. I know you have been working overtime and now he has eaten a large lunch but your dog still needs exercise.
There are many areas in our homes where we need to take our outdoor dog for a walk or even run. You don't need to leave your dog out in the backyard but you should go take him for a little walk or run.
You may have to make an appointment if you are trying to schedule an afternoon walk to come and take your dog out for some time to give him some good exercise. You should also try to schedule some time in the evening to get him some time to play so he will not be bored.
If you have a very active puppy then you might find your play time is limited by the amount of time you can play with him. There are things you can do to keep your dog entertained which will keep him busy and your play time will not be limited.
If you can afford it then you might want to get him an activity toy so he can keep busy doing some free playtime. Find one that has a small ball inside it so he can catch it with his mouth. It can be anything from an apple to a stuffed kitty to a stuffed animal to a paper toy.
I don't know what you are using to get your dog to keep playing with the toy, but you can find one that suits your needs. Just make sure it is safe to play with your dog and it doesn't hurt him or her. You don't want to hurt your dog by doing something silly or unsafe.
Whatever it is you decide to get him the next step is to take him to the dog daycare center and have him spend a few hours playing with some toys. Dogs enjoy being stimulated and playing just the same as we do.
You need to see your dog for an hour a day to keep them happy and healthy. You may find the rest of the time that they need to be taken for walks to get the exercise they need and to play with the toys that they enjoy.
