Just like you, your dog needs to feel secure in his world to remain calm and contented. Providing adequately for your pet's essential needs, mentally and physically, is the first step toward achieving this ideal. A feeling of security is enhanced by respecting your dog's personal space. Providing safe places where your dog can rest without being bothered by anyone (especially children when the dog has had enough play) or another animal, or simply to watch the world go by from a safe vantage point, is paramount to your dog's emotional well-being. Just as we like to have time by ourselves for a while - to be able to relax, be alone with our thoughts, or sleep undisturbed to recharge our batteries - so too do dogs. Just as we are likely to become irritable if our personal space and time is invaded, so too are dogs. So the rule is to let sleeping dogs lie!
