How much do you know about your dog's mind?

We eat together, sleep together, walk together, and love and cherish our dogs like family, but sometimes, understanding our dogs' feelings can feel like the most difficult thing in the world.
Even if it's a small and seemingly trivial action, as a parent, you may wonder why and sometimes worry that something is wrong.
There are endless questions that dog owners have about what behaviors are problematic, how to respond in such situations, and what their dog is really thinking when they exhibit such behavior.


Do dogs get bored if you walk them the same route every day? They're always excited to go up the hill behind our house, but they don't seem to get excited when I walk their regular trails.

'I have an eight-year-old poodle.
Among my family of five, I don't want to go for a walk with anyone but myself.
It's really difficult when I'm busy or traveling.
In times like this, can I just not go for a walk?'

These problems may seem trivial at first glance, but they are problems that can be encountered frequently in reality.

'The dog is hospitalized for a long time.
But I heard that if you go to visit, the dog might get even sadder and think, 'I thought you were going home with your guardian, but you left me behind again,' so I secretly go and see you.
Would it be better for my dog ​​to just sneak a peek rather than meet and greet him in person? I'm planning on being hospitalized for about a month and a half.

There are so many difficult and weighty questions like this that require expert advice.
And there are heartbreaking stories that all companions can relate to, like the following question:


'The puppy I was raising crossed the rainbow bridge.
Should I talk to my dog, who I used to live with? I keep crying, and I can't even pronounce his name. I haven't been able to tell him yet.

While there are no definitive, clear answers to all of these questions, the author promises to provide honest answers based on everything he has studied and experienced.
120 questions directly asked by dog ​​owners and 120 answers provided in detail by trainer Kang Hyung-wook.
