How to make your dog happy-go-lucky?

It's a universal thing that all your dog wants is YOU, only you! Your dog craves your attention and does several cute things to get it. No doubt about that! Certainly, there are other things, apart from your love, that would make your dog go crazy. And, here crazy means happy-go-lucky. 

Dogs express their emotions in many ways. Like Golden Retrievers, some dogs express themselves with a cute smile and wagging their tails or some like pugs, just sit with you calmly by keeping their chin on your body. Their ways might differ, but their actions say only one thing - that they love you, unconditionally! 

Similarly, being a dog parent, you love them too and can understand what they are going through or how they feel, happy or sad. When they are happy, you just don’t need to do anything, they would express it in the best way possible. However, when they are sad, there are many things you ought to do to make them happy. What are these things?

In this post, we’ve shared a few tips that would make your dog happy-go-lucky, just like that. Here we go!

Praise your dog with some love and tasty treats

The best way to melt your dogs is to say how good they are and treat them with a treat. Dog parents should know that their dogs love to hear how much you love them, again and again. Whether you say them a thousand times daily, they would react the same way every time.

Hence, this is the easiest way to make them happy by telling them how much you love them with a treat. And while doing it, make sure you give them a healthy treat. Because you can’t compromise their health as well. Sometimes, they might ask for the treats several times a day. Hence, always go for the healthiest treat that would keep them happy and healthy.

Keep them busy with toys

Dogs love playing with new things, especially toys. The ideal way to keep your dog happy and playfully busy is by offering them a lot of toys. Dogs love to play with sticks and toys. This can be a great way if you love to spoil them. You can also teach your dog the names of their toys. Yes, it may sound hard but it's easy. It can be a great activity to divert their attention and teach them new things.

While telling them to fetch, tell your dog to fetch the specific toy by name. And, once it does, give lots of praise. Once your dog gets used to it, see if your dog can pick out the toy by name out of a pile of toys or not. There are several toys that you can buy for your pet.
