    The average lifespan of the dog is nature's cruelest trick.

    Lol my dog doesn’t sleep with me , I sleep with her . She usually takes up the bed and leaves me a tiny space and my butt hangs off while she is splayed out with legs in the air . Then she looks at me and looks at her belly like … here it is human rub rub rub ! . My dog is the greatest thing that happened in my life . I lost about 100 pounds exercising with her and walking, I quit smoking for her health, and I found a happiness I haven’t had in a long long time. Just knowing someone is there , loving unconditionally. She is so empathetic that when I’m sick she lays on my lap , if I sneeze or cough I get kisses , if I cry she wipes tears with her paws and licks my face clean. I am the luckiest guy in the world to have a friend like her.

    My certified service dog “Bubba” and I have been relying on each other for nearly 11 years now. Bubba sleeps with me every night in a single bed. He’s an 80 lbs Labradoodle and I’m a chunky 200 lbs paraplegic man. I don’t mind him hogging the bed. Lol… His body heat soothes many of my medical needs. He’s the best heat pad in the world for aches and pains. We cuddle a lot while awake and/or sleeping. He feels where he needs to lay as the night progresses. It is almost freaky he senses my therapeutic care. Every morning I thank him by kissing him several times and talking in my doggy voice. I know for a fact that sleeping together is the biggest contribution to our love, bond and trust.
  • Hmmm, couldn't help but notice that what works for dogs, works for children too. Love, presence and assurance.

    The kisses and eye contact depends upon the animal in question. Dogs from shelters often need time before they can be called a fur baby. Most small dogs will have a far more positive reaction sooner than larger dogs that are known to be used as hunting dogs. So if you stare in the eyes of malamutes and breeds much closer to actual wolves, eye contact can be seen as aggression. Just a thought for people who are looking for a dog and are unaware of the time and sense of comfort the dog has learned from their person.

    The Guide elaborates on the techniques used on the show. The examples given in the youtube.com/post/UgkxECnmSvBSv_NGWx4_ChD73pF3NYZwI… are helpful and some of the techniques suggested very useful. One such technique/tool suggested was the lure stick to encourage a small dog to keep up with the heel command. I have a small dog who lags behind smelling any and everything and find it hard to keep bending over while walking to his level. The lure stick is great also for another dogs focus and sprinting at anything that catches her eye. The stories about different dogs, their different temperaments, have been helpful, especially Lulu's: After reading about Lulu's challenges I felt relief concerning one of my rescues that I have had for 10 years. Over many years I have checked out many training books from the library, watched different shows, DVDS, bought training books, taken lessons and this book is the best by far! Kindness, patience and perseverance works.

    I call my dog, "sweetheart". Once my niece was over and we were getting ready to leave. My dog was laying in his bed and I said to my niece, "alright, let's go sweetheart." My dog got up real quick and came up to me thinking I was talking to him. 😂 Best dog ever. I had to give him a treat and told him he had to stay.

    A dog I had 40 years ago was named Prudence, which became Prudie, which became Prunie Tunie, which became Prune and when she became old it was just Tune. She was a great Border Collie.

    I almost always pet my boy, give him a milkbone bisket, and tell him I love him and will be right back and to guard the house whenever I leave each day. He never seems to mind my leaving and always is there by the door waiting for me to come in when I get home.
  • My English bulldog is named Malibu but when she’s extra adorable I call her “Malibu Beach Barbie”, and my rescue pit bull is named Freddy and I love calling him “Mr Kruger” when I get home, he’s always so excited and calling him that now amplifies his excitement 😂
  • @KTpie
    Love how you incorporated concepts like love languages and attachment styles into this video. So interesting how these things apply to both human and doggo relationships!
  • @timjohnun4297
    I have 2 Rhodesian Ridgebacks, they both love me, especially my younger one, but both would walk straight past me to get to a biscuit crumb lol
  • @lukeross948

    My dog was..more timid as a pup than most, still a bit more timid than most but not as bad (she used to pee herself out of fear over anything as a pup); we found that she responded much better when using positive training rather than the punishing one (like rubbing their nose in pee, a swatt on the butt, and putting them outside), this was back before positive training really became more utilized and more studied..so it was a slightly goofy idea back then and it paid off so much! She's so relaxed around us, listens well, and loves us very much as we trained her with only positve reinforcement! When it's garbage day and the big truck comes by she gets spooked from all the noise and banging, but I found it really interesting she'd come into my room to lay next to me even if the noise was louder in my room..she'd even come from across the house to lay next to me (I'm the only one home at those hours, my parents are work). I even trained her to give me hugs when I'm on knees (only then as I'm low enough for her to lay her head on my shoulder lol), but she only seems to do it with me..everyone else can command her to jump up to give hugs though via wrapping her paws around your waist when standing. When doing the "dog voice" I call her some silly stuff like "nikki wiki tiki" 😆
