Spend time with it; play and share some food with it. Bonding with dogs is no different than bonding with people. All you need is quality time and love.

 

Depends on the dog sometimes, I find with some dogs if you push yourself on them too much they will push away, some dogs you ignore and they want you more. It depends on how you are trying to bond and what you want at the end of the day.

 

Which one is not bonding? Sometimes a young pup will bond with the older dog before the Human dog heehee.

 

Most importantly it takes time to build a relationship, check out this thread i made in the puppy forum might be helpful

creating a strong bond with your doberman

 

You have to become the best thing in that dogs life. All fun, good, wonderful things come from YOU. Always have a pocket full of treats, I used Zukes tiny treats, reward the dog for all sorts of behavior you want from him. A couple of times a day do some OB work that is FUN, light and HAPPY. Keep a toy or two that is special for the two of you to play with, like a tug or ball, hidden away and several times a day bring it out and make it the best play time ever! Take walks alone where there are no distractions, where it is just the two of you enjoying the great outdoors. Go for rides in the car....alone, leave the other dog at home.

Good luck!

 

Mysti, and me have a good bond. But I'm trying with Nox still. Thanks all!
