Prioritize exercise<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Dogs get tremendous benefits from<a href=\"https:\/\/www.pawboost.com\/blog\/2017-11-13-promoting-healthy-lifestyles-how-to-keep-your-pet-active-and-lean\/\"> regular\nexercise<\/a>. Exercise provides the basic foundation for their physical\nhealth.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Every once in a while, go on <a href=\"https:\/\/wanderera.com\/microadventures\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\">micro adventures<\/a> and hike that nearby mountain or go camping. Your dog will benefit from all the exercise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>An inactive dog could potentially have health problems due to\ninactivity-like obesity and obese dogs are more prone to having heart disease,\nhigh blood pressure, and other high-risk health issues.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you give your dog more chances to stay active, your dog can\navoid these issues and have a longer and happier life! Also, you\u2019ll benefit\nfrom having a well-exercised dog, because tired dogs are more disciplined and\nmore confident.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. Mental stimulation<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Just like a little kid, your dog needs to explore the world! When you take them out they explore the sights, smells, and sounds of their environment. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.whole-dog-journal.com\/behavior\/instincts-dna\/understand-your-dog%C2%92s-ancestral-instincts\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\">Dogs are instinctual<\/a> and interactive. They will always look for chances to experience something new.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When you go out for walks or other activities, give your dog time to sniff around. It\u2019s an important part of their dog life. They parse information around them through smelling and allowing them to do so stimulate them mentally.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"609\" src=\"https:\/\/www.pawboost.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/jurgen-latzke-ApIsl5g5SCE-unsplash-1024x609.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4412\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.pawboost.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/jurgen-latzke-ApIsl5g5SCE-unsplash-1024x609.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.pawboost.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/jurgen-latzke-ApIsl5g5SCE-unsplash-300x178.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.pawboost.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/jurgen-latzke-ApIsl5g5SCE-unsplash-768x456.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.pawboost.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/jurgen-latzke-ApIsl5g5SCE-unsplash-640x380.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.pawboost.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/jurgen-latzke-ApIsl5g5SCE-unsplash-126x75.jpg 126w, https:\/\/www.pawboost.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/jurgen-latzke-ApIsl5g5SCE-unsplash-1200x713.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/www.pawboost.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/jurgen-latzke-ApIsl5g5SCE-unsplash-600x357.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.pawboost.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/jurgen-latzke-ApIsl5g5SCE-unsplash.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><em><span class=\"caption\">Photo Credit: J\u00fcrgen Latzke via Unsplash<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. Socialize your pup<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the easiest ways to<a href=\"https:\/\/www.pawboost.com\/blog\/the-basics-of-taking-care-of-your-dog\/\"> socialize\nyour dog<\/a> is to invite them along for a social gathering. Tag your dog\nalong when you visit a family member or a friend. Giving dogs a chance to hang\nout with your friends and family is a good physical and mental exercise for\nthem too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Also, if your dog is well-socialized and enjoys the company of\nother pets, you can let your pup play at a local dog park. But remember to take\nyour dog\u2019s personality into account when socializing them with other dogs to\nensure safety and comfortability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">4.

Respect his own space<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Just like humans, dogs not only need togetherness but alone time\ntoo. Even the most social dog may want to have some time to themselves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Make sure your dog has a \u201csafe zone\u201d where he can retreat to,\noff-limits to humans, especially during big events like birthday parties where\na lot of kids are running around and shouting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Too much stimulation can be stressful for dogs. When they live\nin a household full of stimulation and high-stress situations, they\u2019ll need\nquiet time to recover.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">6. Remain calm around your dog<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Your dog\u2019s safety starts with you. Dog\u2019s will take cues from\ntheir owners and rely on them for most of their needs. So if you behave uneasy\nor anxious during times of crisis, your dog\u2019s fight or flight response will\nkick in and may result in aggressive behavior towards other dogs and humans.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To make sure you are prepared for situations like this, plan regular <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pawboost.com\/blog\/7-dog-training-tips-everybody-should-know\/\">training<\/a> that targets specific skills that will help you control your dog during emergencies.

Visit the vet regularly<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>A healthy dog is a happy dog! It\u2019s critical to visit the vet to\nmaintain your dog\u2019s physical health. Make sure your pup has a regular checkup\nto ensure you are updated with an overall health screening and<a href=\"https:\/\/www.pawboost.com\/blog\/2017-8-23-pet-immunization-what-is-it-and-why-is-it-important\/\"> vaccinations<\/a>.

If your dog fears vet visits, try giving him treats and\ncompliments before and after your visits. This will somehow tell him that good\nthings happen when you visit the vet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">10.
