"Food" is an important link between people and dogs. Correct feeding can establish a good relationship of trust. We usually have a good impression of people who treat us to meals, and the same goes for dogs. Owners must be careful when feeding their dogs. Be careful.

As mentioned before, dogs are very different from humans in terms of communication methods, natural habits and appearance. When we take such animals away from pet shops or breeders and bring them into our own homes, isn't it very similar to aliens who think Earthlings' children are cute and take them directly regardless of their wishes? How about living together on an alien planet? Although this example is a bit extreme, this is how a puppy feels when it first comes to a human family.

Try to imagine yourself as a child from Earth. You are taken to an alien's home. There is no so-called trusting relationship between you and the alien. You are full of uneasiness and do not know that the alien actually cares about you. You have no ill intentions, and I want you to live a happy life with full love.

But you immediately noticed that the aliens brought out a lot of delicious food for you, and your uneasiness decreased day by day. Then one day, you felt that the aliens were really nice to you, so you began to treat you gradually. He developed trust and established a trusting relationship. Although it is natural for the owner to provide food or snacks to the dog, if the feeding method is wrong, it will seriously affect the relationship between the owner and the dog.

The effect of dog bowl feeding is very different from that of hand feeding

The owner cannot let the dog take whatever it wants, constantly asking for food or snacks. If the owner always agrees to the dog's request unconditionally, he is just indulging it. What will a pampered dog become in the future? The answer is just like a spoiled child, it will only become more and more willful.

In addition, owners should also remember not to feed their dogs food or snacks meaninglessly. When the dog actively performs the behavior expected by the owner, or performs the behavior requested by the owner, food can be used as "reward" (good things happen) to reward the dog. In order to get the dog accustomed to the stimulation of human society, food can also be used as a reward to encourage the dog to efficiently learn the behaviors expected by the owner and make the socialization process go more smoothly. The dog's food for the whole day can be given in this way.

In this way, feeding with a dog bowl and feeding with hands have different meanings. Feeding with hands allows the dog to clearly know who is giving it food, but if it is fed from a dog bowl, some dog trainers will advise the owner not to watch the dog eating from the dog bowl. The host is actually just like the waiter who brings out the food in a restaurant. In addition, some dogs will have food-guarding problem behaviors. If they are fed by hand, this behavioral problem will not occur at all. The first step in building a good relationship with your dog is to give him food.
