EditSteps

  1. 1
    Feed your dog at least 3 or 4 times a day.
    • You might have to feed the dog more or less, depending on your dog's age and body size.
    • Buy healthy food. Make sure that the first ingredients listed are healthy and not supplements or chemicals.
  2. 2
    Walk your dog every day and make sure to bring some water for it.
    • Dogs are like humans, they need water. Make sure you bring a pan your dog can drink from and cool or warm water depending on the weather.
    • Buy soft, but sturdy leashes. And adjust them properly for your dogs comfort. Harnesses give your dog more control and freedom, they may also be more comfortable. But collars help keep the dog in check.
  3. 3
    Play with your dog twice a day for at least two hours.
    • Buy safe toys. No choke risks or chemicals.
  4. 4
    Let your dog sleep with you and not outside.
  5. 5
    Give your dog treats every time it does something good.
  6. 6
    Make sure that it always has water in it's water bowl.
  7. 7
    Bath your dog at least three times a week.
    • Maybe less if the dog lives indoors and use moisturiser for dry skin.
