1. Give them some time to warm up to you
We know it can be hard to leave your puppy alone and not hug them all the time. But the best way to get your new dog to love you is to give them space and let them come to you when they see fit. It’s important that they feel safe during their interactions with you, and the best way to ensure that is to let them take the lead.
2. Play with them and offer them treats
Everyone knows that dogs really enjoy food. One of the best ways to bond with a puppy is through the stomach. Be the human friend who always carries a treat in their pocket and offer it to your furry friend whenever they behave well. It may seem like a bribe, but it is a good way to strengthen your connection with your four-legged friend. In addition, dogs are normally docile and fun creatures. If you are not quite sure how to bond with your dog, keep in mind that they always want to play. So, try to engage with your furry friend by playing fetch or thug of war, and the two of you will become closer in no time.
