Happy dogs, happy life!

Having the right relationship and mindset makes all the difference. The dog needs to trust you and me as the wellness provider. A more dominant than submissive relationship works best as we as the humans should be in charge and decide what behavior we prefer over another. This consistency will will help your puppy to relax and enjoy their life, eat, play, sleep and exercise would be an ideal regiment. As the saying goes, who plays together stays together.

This is of course generic and is also dependent on your dogs character and breed and history. Working breed for example are high energy, smart and thought processing dogs that like to have a job…dogs get bored too, and often destructive in such state. Providing a calm and relaxing environment is key - I am sure you recall how your dog reacts when you enter a vets office. Their senses are so heightened that they can smell fear, urine and all the other history of this place and usually try to bail seconds after entering…mine almost scream at me, please, please I will behave but please take me away from this aweful place… :). Try to reason with a 2yr old child…dogs are similar and rely on their senses and instincts. Hence, I strive to provide a calm, zen environment that enables me to assess your dog and ‘get to know them’ for a few minutes and see if they trust me enough to touch them etc. and create a bond. In some cases training is the first step before a massage might be feasible…

Some sample training videos, the art of possible…

Zewoof as a brand is focused on your dog and its wellbeing plus so much more. As you can see from the selection of videos below some dogs are capable of doing incredible things and have the ability to learn seemingly anything. That in return takes a lot of repetition, patience after trust and leadership between dog owner and dog have been clearly established and reiterated on a daily basis.

With that in mind it is first and foremost you that needs likely to adjust your behavior towards and around your dog.
