11. Meeting Other Dogs They Don’t Know
image source: companionanimalsolutions.com
Dogs are territorial animals by nature, so when a new animal comes into their home their first instinct is to defend and protect.
Instead of letting your friends and family bring their dogs into your home it is a good idea to introduce them while outside for a walk or in a neutral place.
Give them some time to get to know one another before introducing them in your home.
This will save you from having to break up a fight between multiple dogs or even worse, have your house trashed down.

A lot of these are just common sense (which I know is sadly lacking in some folks) but it all depends on the dog. Besides that, being the incredibly intuitive and sensitive creatures that they are, they will adapt to how you express affection. Our dogs will lick our faces off if we let them, and we kiss their little heads in return.

Dogs love car rides, and of course you shouldn’t give them spoiled food!!! Most of these are common sense, but we know dogs have more common sense than most people!!!
