Slice of Life: ‘Strong bond with pet can have positive effect’

I was working in a typical managerial job, but one day I just decided to quit and I did it. One day, my friend had asked me to take care of his dog while he was out of station. Later, he asked me to charge money for it. I started to take care of dogs and gradually, I moved to rescuing and training dogs.  After some time, I underwent a training course. In my opinion, I believe that more than tricks, I think you should have a strong bond with your pet. While they shake hands and sit very sweetly, when you have a strong bond with your pet, it positively affects your relationship. You begin to trust each other more. In animal world, communication is very simple. But it is humans who complicate it. Like any other relationship in the world, be it human with human or animal with human, miscommunication affects the relationship. So it is important to know how to talk to your dog. Dogs are relatively simple creatures. More often than not, any anxiety or aggression they exhibit is because of the owner’s behaviour or mind. When they notice something that is off in their environment, they are trying to react accordingly. Nowadays, in our quest to be more urban, we are ignoring the animal world. People are shooing away dogs and cats and other animals from their neighbourhood because they think that is progress. That is not always the case. There is a lot we can learn from the animal kingdom.
