Every time I see dogs in seclusion whether outdoors or indoors, it pains my heart to see it bark at all who happens to pass by. It is as if it barks to someone or anyone to get attention and actually spend time with it.

The reality of having to work to earn a living is a must especially if you want to make ends meet, including your dog’s needs. But, a little time alone or make that quality time alone with your dog goes a long way to make your pet feel special and appreciated. Go through simple ways to have a time to bond with your pet dog without exerting very much effort or spending more time.

Take your dog along

Why not let your dog tag along when you are out doing errands like picking kids up from school? It is a hassle-free way to shower your dog with attention and stimulation. If you are one of those owners whose lives rotate around home, sending or picking up kids from school, at soccer games, then allowing your dog to participate in these activities can meet much of her social needs.

Sleep with your dog.

Experts agree that having your dog sleep in your bedroom does not necessarily mean to let it sleep on your bed. Your dear pet can sleep on the floor or another mini sofa in your room. It is a great way to spend extended time with your best friend with no additional effort on your part.

Find common hobbies you both like to do.

There are some activities that seem to be more fun when done with a buddy. Yes, your buddy can be your dog. Try doing mutually enjoyable physical activities that you both love. Add in some cuddle time during these activities too. It never hurts to express how much you love your pet.

Multitasking

Are you busy making lunch or dinner while your dog hangs around? Use this opportunity to train your dog how to sit-stay and down-stay commands.

Delegating

If you don’t live alone, other family members can take turns helping out on dog care. For example, if you are living with children then designate them to be walkers, exercisers and players of your household pet. It spreads the interactions over more people.

Who wants a grumpy, lonely dog for company? Spend a little extra time with your dog to make it a happy member of your home. Every dog requires training, exercise, and quality one-on-one time with people each and every day. A little creativity on your part can help meet most of your dog’s social needs without putting a dent in your schedule.
