Got 2 minutes? Pet with Purpose. Instead of zoning out watching SNL and absentmindedly patting your pup, focus on your dog while you pet him. Like people, your dog can tell when he has your attention. Feel free to spill about your day, even. Your BFF--best furry friend--will appreciate the extra effort. Got 3 Minutes? Hide and Sniff. Hide your dog's favourite treat somewhere fairly easy to sniff out, then guide her along with the appropriate level of praise: good girl, you're very close! The positive vibes and subsequent reward will put the pep back in her paws. Got 10 minutes? Mutt-ssage. Connect with your dog by giving her a relaxing massage. By giving a regular, thorough massage, you'll be able to familiarize yourself with your dog's normal lumps and bumps and will notice any changes that may warrant a check up. See a step-by-step illustrated guide to how to give your dog a massage.
