#1. Human and dog personality
Much like people, dogs are attracted to people who have a similar personality to them. A dog who loves to play and roughhouse will be attracted to the person who feels the same way. A dog who likes predictable, quiet time on the couch, will find the person who enjoys the same things.
You can still become your dogs favorite
Just because you’re not your dog’s favorite doesn’t mean that you can’t do things to increase the bond between the two of you.
How to be your dog’s favorite
- Spend lots of time with them during their first six months
- Spend more one on one time together every day
- Play your dog’s favorite games with them
- Do dog training or skills training together
- Take your dog for more walks
- Be the one to give your dog treats
- If your dog enjoys grooming then groom them frequently
- Avoid being associated with the things your dog hates
- Create positive associations with you and the dog’s favorite things
