Question
How to win the affection of the dog you want to borrow?
Answer
It's good to follow some basic rules to ensure that your first meet with your new four-legged friend goes well.
Don't look at him directly in the eyes when you meet him. The dog might interpret this as a threat. Wait for him to come to you rather than imposing your presence on him. When he's interested in you, stay calm and confident. You can then pet him and start playing with him. You can also hold him on a leash (always in the presence of the owner the first time). With the help of the owner, review the commands the dog knows ("sit", "no", "heel", etc.). This allows you to discover how to interact with him, and also to understand his reactions to your commands. With the owner's agreement, you can reward him with an appropriate treat.
Whatever happens, always treat the dog with respect, affection, and firmness, and you'll discover an adorable companion that will give you great moments of happiness!
