Sure you create your set of resolutions for New Years but have you thought about resolutions for your dog? There are things you want for your dog so why not help them achieve these dreams in the new year. Resolutions are just the way to help them do this. If you are not sure where to start with this here are some things to know about creating resolutions for your dog. .
How Many Resolutions to Choose
This really depends on how committed you are and what your dog’s capabilities are. If you have a stubborn dog, such as a shiba inu, that will resist the things you throw at them then you may want to go easy on the resolutions. The number of resolutions is not as important as how good they are and how committed you are to getting to them.

How to Go About it
As with anything else in life, it is easier when you have a plan for how you will handle your New Year\’s resolutions for both you and your dog. Some pet parents like to make joint resolutions to help make the resolution more attainable. Sit down and come up with a plan. Think about what you want to do and how you will accomplish these things for your dog.
While you may not have the resolutions ready for your pup on New Year’s day it does not mean that you cannot do this at all. Try to get your plan in place by the end of January so that you can devote the other 11 months of the year to helping your dog accomplish their goals.
