8. Overcrowded Dog Parks
image source: memes.com
It is a great idea to take your dog out for exercise, but a crowded dog park can become scary to your pet.
If your dog gets along well with other dogs then a dog park should be alright, provided it isn’t overcrowded and there aren’t too many aggressive dogs around.
But, if your pup is a little skittish, throwing them into an extremely crowded dog park can lead to fights and discomfort.
If you notice your dog pinning back their ears or carrying their tail low when they are at the park, this could be an indicator that they are scared and want to leave.
Don’t force them to stay where they don’t want, as much as you wouldn’t want to stay where you feel uncomfortable.

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.

1 is ALL BS!! 3 is optional, depending on if you talk to you dog and tell them how much you love them. 4 is ALL OUT BS!! WHAT BRAINLESS IDIOT COMES UP WITH THIS?

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!!!
