Show your pup some love with a hug
I don’t know about you, but I hug my dogs absolutely every day- I just can’t help it! If you have a dog who likes to be hugged, then this one’s for you. Here are 7 ways you can hug your dog:
The front hug
A classic! Sit at your pup’s level and give them a nice big hug.
The under hug
The under hug is great for the big pups. Wrap one arm under their belly and one around their chest, and embrace.
The side hug
If your pup is sitting or standing next to you, you can wrap one arm around them for the cozy side hug.
The face hug
Like the side hug, when your pup is sitting or standing next to you, wrap your arm around their neck for a face hug. Bonus points for head scratches!
The (little) bear hug
This one’s for the little pups out there! Place your pups paws on your shoulders and give them a little bear hug.
The double hug
Probably one of the most difficult hugs to pull off. Draw in your adorable pups for a double hug!
The snuggle hug
This one is Isla’s favourite hug, by far. Lay your pup on your lap and hold their feet for a full embrace. Belly scratches compliment this hug very well!
I hope you enjoyed these adorable hugs and that you can practice some of these with your pups.
Just remember, some dogs do not like being hugged, and that is OK. Always be sure to respect our pup’s wishes (and space) and instead resort to lots of pets and head scratches!
Happy hugging!
