As we wrap up this month, let’s finish strong with an extra dose of love for our pups using expert tips from our trainer, Hannae. Love isn’t just about belly rubs and treats—it’s also about setting clear boundaries that help your dog feel safe, respected, and confident.

One of the most important ways to show your pup love is by creating and maintaining boundaries in their daily life. Setting limits with yourself, your home, and your dog’s interactions helps them understand expectations and build trust in you as their leader. When boundaries are clear, dogs feel more secure and are less likely to experience stress or confusion. This can include designating specific areas where your pup is allowed, establishing consistent rules for greetings and play, and ensuring they feel comfortable in new environments.

Another key aspect of boundaries is advocating for your dog’s space. Not every dog enjoys being approached by strangers or other animals, and that’s okay! Respecting your pup’s comfort level and stepping in when needed shows them that you have their back. Whether you’re out on a walk or at a gathering, being mindful of how your dog interacts with others is an essential way to show love and respect.

By setting and reinforcing healthy boundaries, you’re helping your dog build confidence, trust, and a deep connection with you. Stay tuned for more tips from our trainer, and let’s continue to fill this month with love and care for our furry companions!
