Sometimes, we can go too far with expressing our love and find ourselves with a pup that won&#8217;t obey, won&#8217;t listen, and wants instant gratification at every turn. It makes sense to want to spoil your pet, but in the long run, it will damage the relationship between you both by spoiling everyday life with bad habits and difficult behaviors.<\/p>\n<p>Now, every dog on the planet has moments of bad behavior. Whether it&#8217;s a temporary slip-up or a consistent pattern is what determines whether your dog is truly spoiled or not. The best way to ensure your pet is at its happiest and healthiest point is not to spoil it, but to follow through with training that will help it maintain control. With proper guidance and training, you can take your dog everywhere with you! Think about all the patio restaurants, coffee shops, hiking trails, public parks, and beaches you could visit if your dog would only listen! No matter your dog&#8217;s age, size, breed, temperament, or behavioral history, that lifestyle can be achieved.<\/p>\n<p>We&#8217;re happy to provide you with practical advice and professional knowledge that will help you navigate the challenges of owning and caring for a pet. Our goal is to help you stay away from fighting with your dog every time the other dog across the street makes a movement or having to hold onto your dog&#8217;s collar when you&#8217;re trying to get professional photos taken, or any other moment that a spoiled dog makes incredibly difficult. We can help you replace those moments with a joy-filled lifestyle that equals ultimate, off-leash freedom!<\/p>\n<p>If you&#8217;re not sure whether or not your dog is spoiled, we&#8217;ve prepared a test for you. No matter what your score is (Even if it&#8217;s a perfect 8 out of 8), we can help!<\/p>\n<h2>Signs You Have a Spoiled Dog<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>Excessive barking<\/li>\n<li>Refusing to obey commands<\/li>\n<li>Demanding constant attention<\/li>\n<li>Excessive grooming or licking<\/li>\n<li>Aggression towards others (people or pets)<\/li>\n<li>Refusing to eat anything but preferred food<\/li>\n<li>Becoming easily anxious or destructive when left alone<\/li>\n<li>Constant begging for treats or human food<\/li>\n<li>Displaying signs of separation anxiety.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>The Spoiled Dog Test for Pet Owners<\/h2>\n<ol>\n<li>Your Dog is Allowed to Sleep in Your Bed.<\/li>\n<li>Your Dog Gets Christmas Presents.<\/li>\n<li>You&#8217;ve Refused to Move if Your Dog is Asleep on You.<\/li>\n<li>You&#8217;ve Cancelled Plans Because of Your Dog.<\/li>\n<li>Your Dog Gets a Birthday Present.<\/li>\n<li>Your Dog is Allowed to Sit on the Couch.<\/li>\n<li>You Sign Birthday\/Christmas Cards from Your Dog.<\/li>\n<li>You Give Your Dog a Pat Before Saying Hello to Your Partner.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h2>How to Prevent a Spoiled Pooch<\/h2>\n<p>To avoid spoiling your dog, you should ensure they can differentiate between right and wrong behavior. You can help them in knowing what is right by rewarding them for doing the right things, perhaps helping you to bring an object located far from you when you need the object.<\/p>\n<p>Perhaps you just get a new dog and you want to avoid spoiling them, then you should give them obedience training. Your dog should learn to obey your orders and corrections.<\/p>\n<p>Learning is a gradual process and most animals learn through &#8220;conditioning&#8221;, that is, they associate rewards and punishments with certain conditions. Therefore, rewarding your canine when they behave well can make them keep behaving well to be more rewarded.<\/p>\n<p>It is important to ensure your dog doesn&#8217;t have bad eating habits. They should not be allowed to eat from a plate used to feed humans\u2013even as a reward for good conduct.<\/p>\n<p>Playing with your dog every time they demand it can teach them that they control the schedule. You need to let them understand that you&#8217;re not available to play with them when you&#8217;re performing an important task.<\/p>\n<h2>Healthy Ways to Spoil Your Furry Friends<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>Give them gourmet treats.<\/li>\n<li>Buy them a new dog bed and dog collar.<\/li>\n<li>Have a variety of toys.<\/li>\n<li>Schedule playdates.<\/li>\n<li>Go on a hike, take them to the beach, or take them on a joy ride in the car.<\/li>\n<li>Give your long-haired doggo a professional haircut.\n<p>&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>I&#8217;m not even a little embarrassed that we have a solid 8 across the board here!
