Why Does Your Dog Roll In Stinky Stuff?

Have you noticed this of your dog? While humans like the fresh clean scent, dogs like the opposite scent.

To you as the pet owner, it is yucky for the dogs to do this but for them it is the smell that you find disgusting that gives them delight.

No wonder then that after a nice scented shampoo used in a bathing your dog, your dog will rush off and try to roll in unpleasant smells like the garbage, mud and the like.

Dogs simply like these smells. This is just their normal behavior.

But of course you do not want to live with a smelly dog.

One way to minimize this behavior is to keep your dog in a leash when you take a walk. Train also your dog the ‘come’ command that calls him to you in a foolproof manner.

5 Ways To Strengthen Your Relationship With Your Dog

Dog owners understand that for a relationship to flourish – yes even with dogs – you have to make time and spend time with your furry kids.

How? Here are five ways you can make sure that you and your pet are best buddies.

Spend One-on-one Time With Your Dog

When you treat your pets as part of your family, one way to let them know that you value them is to have time with them.

Dogs are easy pleasers, so no need to take them to a fancy restaurant or take them to luxury travels. Though if you can then go ahead.

A simple walk with your dog is one way to spend time with them. Add more time if you can.

Cuddle time or just being with your dog while relaxing at home will truly be appreciated.

Train Your Dog

Training allows your dog to have more freedom and does not have to be leashed. When your dog is taught the boundaries in the house, the commands, then he understands what you want.

Feed Your Dog The Best Food

Like most men or even women, one way to a dog’s heart is through their stomach. Put a little love in your dog’s food by giving the best to them. You can prepare healthy and tasty meals. You can also provide pre-prepared food that best suits the nutritional needs of your dog.

Have Time To Play

Dogs are like kids that require play to spend off their energy. So take your dog out and play with them.

Bring his favorite ball and have a jog together and while you rest in between runs, you can let your dog play more with his ball or toy.

It is a win-win situation as you burn some calories and play with your dog.

Know The Likes And Dislikes Of Your Dog

Understand your dog’s personality. Like humans, your furry kid has their own unique lifestyle. He may be a playful pet, a couch potato or a guard dog. So find out as much as you can on what games he likes, favorite toys and food. Learn also the situations that your dog likes or those that make him uncomfortable. With this, you are able to build trust with your dog as you allow him to have the best life possible.

Give the best to your pest always!

Adopted this little cute kitten since her mom never returned for her since day1. Such a lovely spirit. I have not had any experience and not fond with cats , but this kitten have changed my life and filled it with a lot of joy. I have been taking care of her round the clock since she was born. Now she is turning 2 month old healthy kitten. Everyday she is becoming more loving and caring. So much to say. I AM MAUI TUT AND I LIKE TO PUT MY TONGUE OUT WHENEVER I TAKE A SELFIE WITH MY OWNER HAHAHA

Oreo is 6 years old, male, tricolor and still a virgin. 😁 He’s overprotective. He’s not the typical shih-tzu who is friendly to everyone he encounters. He wants my attention to him all the time but he also knows if you’re taking a picture of him. He doesn’t want that. 😂 He’s not a picky eater. He’s my first dog, first fur baby boy.

Adam=Chewbacca 🤔😜This is Adam the Shih Tzu.He is 1 year and 6 months old. I named him after Adam Levine who is my ultimate crush.😂People usually compare him to Chewbacca who is a Star Wars character.It is because he looks like him that’s why I dressed him as one.One of the nicest things that he has done for me is to make me de-stressed after loads of schoolworks by making me laugh at his high-toned bark every time I refuse to carry him as I arrive home.Therefore, he’s Adam the Clingy Shih Tzu.
