5 Ways Your Dog Helps You In Your Relationship

2/25/2016

As a pet owner of two dogs, one 3 passed cats, one goldfish and two escaped budgies, i can categorically state that pets are wonderful when it comes on women and dating. There is just this connection with cute dogs and cats that many women tend to draw to. Especially if they themselves are pet owners. So with that bit said, lets look at some of the ways your dog helps in your relationship:

Dogs Are Chick Magnets

If you are a male and a dog owner, you probably know exactly what i am talking about. Walking a cute dog will give you more attention and phone numbers than your smart phone memory chip can hold. Women will just come over simply to compliment your dog. Especially if your pet is one of those cute guys that women love to take care of. Women love to see a guy take care of something other than himself.

Having A Dog Says A Lot About Your Emotions

When a woman sees a guy walking and having a good time with his dog, to her it says a lot about him. She sees not just a walking prick, but she sees a man who is capable. She sees someone who is caring enough to love and take care of another species. And if he is willing to do all those wonderful things for his dog, he most certainly will love and take care of her just the same or better.

Your Dog Can Help Cool Arguments

People who are in relationships sometimes get into heated arguments. Men and women will exchange harsh words towards each other, many times regretting it couple minutes later. When you have a dog at home and if a argument develops, some dogs tend to go between owners and try to seek attention. The dog is a smart animal and it knows by doing this the focus will shift from the arguments to you remembering how cute and sweet your dog is.

Your Dog Can Help Mend Your Relationship

How many times have there been broken relationships? Well, there is just too many to count. But your dog is just a natural relationship mender. Couples many times come together to take care of their pet that they love, even if they are separated and living under the same roof. When they get together and say, bath the dog, groom the dog or treat the dog for any illnesses. It brings back a warm and loving feeling of working together. That feeling may just spawn into working out a solution and getting back together in love.

Your Dog Can Keep You Both Happy

As you know, people who have pets tend to live longer and be a bit more on the happy side. Having a pet at home will keep the family entertained many times when boredom seems to be the order of the day. We play games with our dogs in the yard or in open area. We roll, we toss and we simply have fun. The dog strengthens the relationship by keeping the happy meter on a high number.

If you have ever been driving your car pass a bunch of street dogs or just simply standing and watching you will notice that the dogs seem to have a liking to the cars that pass. They will run at the car and bark furiously until the car either stops or is out of their reach. But what is it about cars or any other moving equipment that triggers this effect by our dogs. Well, stick around and lets go into the bark of the matter.

Dog Chase Cars
Dogs chase cars because they are fascinated with spinning and moving objects. There is just this thing about objects spinning, running or moving which entices dogs. If you took off the wheels off the car the dogs bark at and run them down the road you will notice that the dogs will still chase and bark at those car wheels. It is actually the movement which fascinates the dogs. For example, a dog will more likely to chase you if you run from it than if you simply walked away. Dogs are natural chasers and they welcome the run. While some dogs me see this as just playing, more serious dogs will run down a object or person and if possible hold on to that object until told to release. Dogs like the idea of running at an object and catching it. They see this as a challenge and will welcome it whole heatedly.

Pros And Cons Of Pet Ownership

In the United States alone there are over 80 million cat owners and over 70 million dog owners. There are however much more dog owners than cat owners. Each cat own tends to have two or more felines living with them. I myself have had several pets living with me at once. Once i had two cats, birds, a fish and a dog. Sadly, my cats passed away, so did the fish and i now have two dogs and a fish (Sounds like a movie title) One thing for sure is that if you have never owned a pet, you are missing out on one of the greatest feeling. A feeling of love and care for an animal other than a human species. Our pets are special to us, when we take them into our homes they become part of the family, they become our child or our next child, they become our total responsibility. But are we really doing justice to animals by having them locked away in our human worlds so we can love them whenever we want? What does the ultimate form of love for an animal really represents? Shouldn't that be total freedom? You can find negative and positive in many situations, and pet ownership comes with its own dark clouds too. Lets now look at some of the bad and good in owning pets.

Pros Of Owning A Pet

You give an animal a chance at life
There are thousands of pets adopted each year. This is a good thing as these adopted animals will be placed in homes where they are loved and care for instead of being put down.

You Share A Mutual Love
No one can deny the joy that animals bring to us, especially dogs and cats. Once you take care of your pet, they will do the same for you. They have a natural healing aura which surrounds them and it passes from pet to pet owner

The Animal doesn't have to Scavenge for food and get hurt
Can you imagine how much dead animals we would have if all pets were to go hunting and scavenging for food. Domestic farmers would have an headache and of course many of these pets would end up getting shot.

Animals Are Quite Helpful
Domesticating animals has brought forward pet owning. It has also brought about special pet training, such as a guide dog, rescue dog or a police dog. Many blind people have guide dogs which help their mobility. Many dogs are quite handy also around the home, they fetch things, play and even work (sled dogs)

Cons Of Owning A Pet

The Animal Will Never Truly Feel or Be Free
Unless you are massive acres of land where your pet can run free and wild then you are actually imprisoning your dog. In our minds, we are pet owners and we take care of our dogs, we give them food, water and a place to sleep. But do we leave the gates open? There are some animals that have never seen nothing but the side of their home. When good dog owners decide to give the dog a little breezer, they place the dogs on leaches and walk or jog with them. Animals natural instincts is to be free, explore the unknown and have fun. If you should not use a leach, that animal could not contain himself, he would be all over, running, sniffing, digging holes any and everywhere. He has just taste what freedom feels like.

May Become Expensive To Maintain
You don't just go out and get a pet and then order the biggest cheese pizza, eat it all off while looking in your starving pet's face. You must ensure that your pet is well fed. Other than food expense, you must ensure your pet receives the proper medical care and treatment when necessary. So put aside your vet money.

Me Time Cut Short
Your me time will cut short as you may just have to put in a lot of hours with your pet (Depends on what kind of pet) Pet care will come in this a lot.

Conclusion
So if are you planning on owning a pet, you have the above to consider when you make your decision. When you adapt or purchase your pet, ensure that you pencil out all the negative effects of owing a pet and then tick all which you can live with. If you are comfortable, then go pick out your new companion.
