“Dogs resemble their owners”—you have surely heard this statement or been told it many times. It could be true, but then you need to know what type of owner you are.
Do you know what type of owner you are with your dog? Each ARISTOPETER is different, but it is true that you may have similar qualities and behaviors with your ARISTODOGS.
The hyperprotective owner
You are a hyperprotective owner if you are the kind of person who does not let your dog off the leash in the park with other dogs for fear that something might happen to them… Dogs need to interact with other ARISTODOGS.
It is not advisable to pick up your dog because a large dog is coming; they need to know how to defend themselves. If you are very protective of your dog, they will also feel the fear, and this may cause them to growl or react in another way.
It is advisable to let your dogs interact with all kinds of dogs and people from an early age. They cannot live isolated in a bubble.
The permissive owner
You are a permissive owner if you are the kind of person who gives your dog every whim. If they do not like something, you replace it with something better… If you let them climb onto the sofa, even if only for a while…
It is advisable not to be too permissive with pets. The same thing happens as with children: if you do not establish rules for them, they get used to it and eventually do whatever they want. Dogs are creatures of habit, so it is better to establish some rules; this does not mean being a sergeant either.
The trainer owner
You are a trainer owner if you are the kind of person who cares about your dog's training. You have always liked your dog to know certain rules, such as sitting when someone is about to give them something, sitting when approaching a pedestrian crossing, not pulling while out on walks, bringing you the ball… Certain rules and instructions that help you live together better.
If you are this type of owner and it works for you, it is advisable not to be too much of a sergeant either, and above all, to receive the necessary guidance and information from trainers and specialists.
