Welcoming a New Family Member
The first few days in a new environment can be overwhelming for a dog, regardless of age. They must adapt to new people, smells, and surroundings. As such, making every effort to help your new family member feel comfortable and secure is essential. Fortunately, dogs will exhibit certain behaviors that signal their growing trust in you.
When a dog lies on their side with their limbs stretched out, they feel at ease in its new home and trust its human family. As trust builds, your canine companion will become more territorial and protective of you and their newfound territory. Understanding these subtle cues and behaviors can forge a stronger bond with our furry friends, ensuring their happiness and well-being.
