In modern society, many people are busy earning their lives. We often ignore the people and things around us, like our friends, parents, and our pet dogs.
The original intention of many people to keep dogs is to hope that dogs can accompany us and make us less lonely. But under work stress, we have to spend our most of time working. That caused many dogs to lose time with their owners, and staying home alone for a long time also makes them lonely. For a dog lover, you definitely wish you had more time with your beloved furbaby. Do you want to know how to spend quality time with your dog? Here is a blog to tell you some ways.
More Outdoor Time
For dogs, the happiest thing is playing outdoors. Dogs are energetic, outdoor time can not only releases their energy but also relieves their loneliness. So try to take a little time every day to take them to play outdoor.
Here are some outdoor activities for dogs.

If there has a dog park near you, you can bring your dog to visit. Dog parks have dedicated dog play spaces, benches for humans, shade for hot days, water, and pooper-scooper to pick up and dispose of animal waste in covered trash cans. So you can safely let your dog play. Also, you can communicate with other dog lover about the experience of owning a dog.
- Go for a Walk
The most simple way is to walking dog. You can go for a walk with your dog in the morning or the evening after you get off work. Dogs appreciate walks around the neighborhood to take in new sights and smells. Since the morning or evening may be cold, especially in winter, you can put on a wearable blanket hoodie to keep warm. Then your dog can keep walking and won't come back home because you're too cold.
Accompany Them with Love
Just like people, dogs also need care and companionship. For dogs, the owner is their family. Dogs watch the owner go out every day, and then stay at home and wait for the owner to come home from getting off work. Many dogs suffer from separation anxiety because their owner has no time to accompany them. So we need to pay more attention to dogs’ mental health, and take more time to accompany them with love.
- Snuggle Up
For most of your rest time, I believe you just want to stay at home, like sleeping, watching TV, or reading books. While you are doing this, wear a wearable blanket and call your dog over and snuggle up with them. It's also a way of companionship and makes the dog feel that you need it.

Dogs are also animals that need a sense of security. When they feel anxious, they will bark to attract the attention of their owners. So we should express love to the dog more often. Such as speaking to them, kissing them, or stroking them. Just show you are caring about them.
