We all want our pooches to have the best life ever. Here's how to make your dog live a long and happy life!
Steps
Choose a vet. Take your dog to the vet for yearly checkups and shots, if there is an emergency, take your pet to the clinic immediately.
Create a grooming routine and put it down on paper. Tuck the page with the routine on it somewhere safe.
Choose a training routine. Each day, teach your dog one of the 5 basic commands: Sit, Down, Come, Heel, and stay. Once your dog has learned all of those commands, try teaching some tricks like rollover, Spin, or Bow.
Socialize your dog properly. Take your dog where there are other dogs and their owners are to play, and get to know dogs and their masters.
Keep your dog well-exercised. Jog each morning with your dog, or play a game of fetch in the yard. Take your dog on regular walks to go to the bathroom and to create a better bond between human and canine.
