Let’s say that you have made the decision to get that puppy you have been wanting for a long time. You had a dog growing up, you’ve always liked having one around, and now it’s time to bring one into your home. Maybe everyone in the family is not as thrilled about having a pet that must be fed, watered, walked and cleaned up after every day. Maybe you have children that are shy around dogs.
You could find at least 365 blog posts on the Internet that offer advice to make your dog fit in quickly with your family. This article is going to focus on one and that is to take your family, especially your children, shopping for a dog treat jar to place in view of the family, probably right there in the kitchen next to the cookie, sugar, or spice jars. People attach meaning to their objects and a dog treat jar indicates that your dog is a member of the family, this is where his favorite treats are kept, this is where we reach in everyday and see it start to wag its tail in anticipation and happiness of what it is about to receive.
Now of course, the dog could care less about the treat jar. It only knows that when a human in the house reaches into it, something to eat is a moment away. The dog treat jar is for the people in the house, especially those that did not want the dog in the first place. Encouraging that shy child to get a treat from the jar for your dog helps him or her to start breaking down the barriers of interacting with the dog – the child has “something to do” for the pet. Maybe your reluctant spouse will start to associate that jar, now sitting alongside the other jars in the kitchen, with an addition to the family that is here to stay.
The dog treat jar welcomes your pet by helping the other, more reluctant members of your family to welcome your pet. Use it with other techniques you research to make your new addition to the family a fun and rewarding one.
