Because of this\nfact, presenting your Bearded Dragon to your dog for the first time is bound to\ncreate some confusion and even fear in your dog. To avoid this, it is important\nto teach your dog about reptiles. To teach your dog in an easy and safe way,\ntake a trip to the pet store. Bring your dog to the reptile section and allow\nit to examine some of the pets that are being kept there. Monitor your dog as\nit watches the reptiles and be sure to discourage bad behavior such as growling\nand intense fixated staring. Repeated trips to the pet store will make it that\nmuch easier to introduce it to your Beardie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Meet through an\nenclosure<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p> To keep both animals relaxed, the first meeting should be conducted while your Beardie is in its enclosure. Your dog should be comfortable with seeing a reptile through a glass case by now and should have no problem with this step. Just like with the pet store, allow your dog to stay and watch as long as it wants while continuing to watch for signs of aggression. If for any reason your dog becomes uncomfortable and wants to leave, don&#8217;t force it to stay near the Bearded Dragon. This will only cause it to become upset the next time it sees the Dragon. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/www.pawboost.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/close-up-shot-of-bearded-dragon-3925090-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3875\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.pawboost.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/close-up-shot-of-bearded-dragon-3925090-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.pawboost.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/close-up-shot-of-bearded-dragon-3925090-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.pawboost.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/close-up-shot-of-bearded-dragon-3925090-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.pawboost.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/close-up-shot-of-bearded-dragon-3925090-640x360.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.pawboost.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/close-up-shot-of-bearded-dragon-3925090-133x75.jpg 133w, https:\/\/www.pawboost.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/close-up-shot-of-bearded-dragon-3925090-800x450.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.pawboost.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/close-up-shot-of-bearded-dragon-3925090-1200x675.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/www.pawboost.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/close-up-shot-of-bearded-dragon-3925090-600x338.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.pawboost.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/close-up-shot-of-bearded-dragon-3925090.jpg 1280w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><em><span class=\"caption\">Photo Credit: Gaurav Joshi via Pexels<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Meet face to\nface<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>After your dog is\nat ease with your Bearded Dragon in its enclosure, take your Beardie out of the\nenclosure for a visit with your dog. While holding your Beardie firmly in your\nhands, approach your dog and show the reptile to it. It is important to keep\nthe Bearded Dragon in your hands in this step to keep your dog calm. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Introduce\ncommands<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>As you begin to show your Bearded Dragon to your dog, it is a perfect time to begin teaching your dog some helpful commands. If your dog ever gets too close to the reptile for too long, firmly tell your dog \u201cleave it,\u201d and have your dog walk away. This command will teach your dog to respect the Beardie and its space. Another command to teach is \u201cnice\u201d. While interacting with your Bearded Dragon, your dog has to remain calm and refrain from getting too rambunctious. If you ever notice your dog getting too excited around your Beardie, remind it to stay calm by saying \u201cnice\u201d followed by your dog\u2019s name. This will remind your dog to be gentle around your Beardie and to not treat it like another dog.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"683\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/www.pawboost.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/brown-and-white-short-coated-puppy-1805164-683x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3876\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.pawboost.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/brown-and-white-short-coated-puppy-1805164-683x1024.jpg 683w, https:\/\/www.pawboost.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/brown-and-white-short-coated-puppy-1805164-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/www.pawboost.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/brown-and-white-short-coated-puppy-1805164-768x1152.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.pawboost.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/brown-and-white-short-coated-puppy-1805164-640x960.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.pawboost.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/brown-and-white-short-coated-puppy-1805164-50x75.jpg 50w, https:\/\/www.pawboost.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/brown-and-white-short-coated-puppy-1805164-800x1200.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.pawboost.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/brown-and-white-short-coated-puppy-1805164-1200x1800.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/www.pawboost.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/brown-and-white-short-coated-puppy-1805164-600x900.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.pawboost.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/brown-and-white-short-coated-puppy-1805164.jpg 1280w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 683px) 100vw, 683px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><em><span class=\"caption\">Photo Credit: Valeria Boltneva via Pexels<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Meet in the open<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Once your dog is\ncomfortable with your Beardie, bring the two out into an open area such as the\nliving room and watch as the two interact.
