I agree with the above comments about training your dog. My Leo was a little shy at first when I brought him home and I started to experiment with treats and trying to show him tricks. Now, he does his tricks and he has a super close knit bond with me. He will risk getting in trouble and squeezes through the gate at the entry of our staircase and comes running as fast as he can into my bedroom just to be with me. It's the cutest thing ever lol! Obviously I cant say for sure that this is what caused the bond to grow or to even happen but I think it definitely helped. He sees me as the "bringer of delicious treats" lol! |
