Do you also have similar experiences? Here is some advice for you: stop engaging in "self-flagellation".

Better check yourself. If all the conditions listed below are met, then everything is fine. Know: your pet has a good owner.

But if you missed something, then correct it immediately.

Regular visits to the veterinary clinic

You take your dog to the vet often!

This is very good! After all, you monitor the health of your pet and significantly increase the chances of timely detection of ailments.

The dog eats properly

Have you provided your four-legged friend with a balanced diet?

Do you study the composition of the food and monitor the caloric content of your dog's diet?

This behavior also shows that you are a good host.

The dog is physically active

Do you regularly walk your pet, play with it, train it?

Great! You are making a huge contribution to maintaining your dog's physical fitness.

In addition, you give the dog the opportunity to “splash out” pent-up energy.

Predictability

Dogs really enjoy living on a schedule.

If you are a predictable person, then your dog probably feels comfortable: no stress, everything is “under control”.

Friendliness

When training a dog, you must not be overly strict.

A good owner knows: you can’t demand too much from your pet.
