Toys to help you bond with your dog

Bonding with your dog is important and has lots of benefits 

These include:-

• Improving their recall 

• Improves their command response 

• Dogs feel more confident in scary or unknown situations as they have you by their side

• Helps to minimise rage and aggression

• Gives them a sense of security, trust and safety

• Ensures both you and your dog a happier life

One of the ways to help you both bond is by playing together. Make a set time every day to play with your dog and interact with them. Playing is hardwired in your dog’s DNA. If you're struggling to know what toys to buy then here are 5 KONG toys that are great.
