Have you ever had a time when things just don’t go right with your lovely pupper? When you feel like you failed to foresee what was coming or when you reacted a bit too slowly?

As pet lovers, we all have had those moments when we get it wrong, and it feels terrible. We blame ourselves for the calamity and try to live with the guilt that we could have done better for our loyal pal.

But what if there is a way through which we can work on our relationship with our fido? A way helping us to develop a stronger affinity with our fluffy pals, a flexible way to overcome any errors and unwanted behaviors?

How cool does that sound?

Fortunately, such a way exists, called a relationship bank account. What is it, and how does it build a stronger bond?

Let’s find out together!

What is a relationship bank account?

A relationship bank account is pretty similar to our financial bank accounts. It has credit, and the higher the balance is, the better your relationship with your pooch will be. The lower the credit, the more are the chances that you will experience difficulties raising a happy and obedient pet.

Let’s make it simple. Think about your relationship bank account as a coin bank. Every time you meet your dog’s basic needs, you are dropping a few bucks in the relationship bank account. With every cuddle, meal, walk, pet, and safe sleep, the balance of your relationship bank account edges a little.

A delicious treat, positive training exercises, and appreciation do the credit climb higher. On the other side, unwanted baths, nail trims, vet, and grooming sessions can drain your relationship account a bit.

Just like any other financial account, you want to make sure your relationship bank account has enough deposit to help you through the rainy days. A big fat balance in your relationship bank account means your pooch trusts you and can rely on you for fun and security.

It can also help you go through the days when your canine resists you or ignores you due to an unwanted vet trip.

How does a relationship bank account transform unwanted behaviors?

The first step towards transforming unwanted behavior is understanding the root of the issue. A relationship bank account enables us to understand what our canines love and what makes them reactive so we can deal with it.

A loftier balance in your relationship bank account results in a pooch who is calm, less aggressive, relaxed, appreciates being around you, responds well to the commands, and can’t wait to snuggle with you. It gives our canines the confidence to go into the world and deal with it.

The pup knows you have got his back, and no matter what life throws at him, you will face it together, encouraging positive manners and eliminating unwanted characteristics.
