This might sound weird but I lay down beside her, talk softly in her ear and pet her for 30 minutes or so every night. She actually purrs. I’ve been wanting to shoot video of just snuggling with the dogs.
As a trainer, it’s a really important thing we start when they are very young. I believe it shapes their brain and makes them loving and gentle. It builds the bond and trust. I can see how important it is to the dogs. They need to be reassured they are loved members of the pack.
Shadow only lasts about ten minutes. He clearly loves it, but he gets bored with it.
