Even more fun for the dog from its perspective would be time spent enriching her life, more walks, exercise activities and obedience training her in very short 5-minute sessions(toy dogs lose focus pretty quickly working with inexperienced trainers) 2 or 3 times a day teaching her how to work with you to learn and achieve something she's proud of herself for, while she both bonds with you and learns to respect you as her leader, finds she has lots of positive reinforcement for doing what you request. During fun, upbeat training and interaction with you, the dog learns that if she gets her command right, she INSTANTLY gets your smiles, praises and a treat - all good things - and she builds her self-confidence and her brain is flooded with oxytocins - all the while coming to recognize you as her leader and the giver of all good things in her life. She'll come to connect her obeying you with feeling very good and happy.
In the wild, dogs do not cuddle, kiss and show lots of open affection as humans like to do. They are more action-oriented and working to learn with their favorite human serves two good purposes - it gives them the brain/mind stimulation they so lack in domestication and serves as a fun, social interaction that rewards many of their pleasure centers even more than cuddling.
Save the extra cuddling, kissing and affection for down-times after exercise and work are done and you will find you have a happy, feisty, well-behaved dog who never disrespects you and almost never misbehaves. Life enriching activities for the dog and short, simple, fun obedience training sessions can totally reshape a dog's attitude and behavior.
