Here’s a simple thing you can add to your daily routine to show your pets more love.
Tell them what you love about them. Or recognize something they do that you like. It’s basically giving you pet a compliment each day. We all like to get compliments, animals are no different.
We often correct them for behaviors we don’t like, but do their desired behaviors get as much attention or reward? The desired behaviors should get more!
Examples:
* I like when you greet me every time I come.
* You look so pretty today!
* I love how patiently you wait for me to prepare your meals.
* I love how you come sit with me on the couch.
* I love how generous you are with your kisses.
* I love how you make me feel better when I am sad.
* I love how excited you get when it’s time to play or go for a walk.
* you smell so good today!
