Use Your Dog To Practice English

Your English will improve if you speak or sing – out loud in English – to your dog.

But also, have you noticed that when you go walking with your dog, other dog lovers will usually be more friendly?  Maybe they’ll say hello, or ask you questions about your dog, or ask, “Can I pet your dog?”  Use this as a great opportunity for some small talk – short, informal conversation. Remember – the more English you speak, the more comfortable it will become.

Besides walking in your neighborhood, great places to meet other dog lovers (and for your dog, too) are parks in the area that are dog-friendly.  One of the best places is Eagle Pond at Callahan State Park in Framingham (shown in picture). Here’s a list of many more.

  1. Why do dogs sit on your feet?
    Dogs may sit on their owner’s feet for a number of reasons. One possibility is that it is a sign of affection and bonding. Dogs are packed animals and sitting close to their owners, touching or leaning on them can be a way of expressing their affection and claiming you as their pack member. Additionally, dogs may sit on your feet as a way of seeking attention and affection from you, or as a way of feeling more secure and protected.
    Also, dogs may have learned through positive reinforcement that sitting on their feet will provide them with some rewards like petting, treats, or attention.
    It’s also worth noting that some breeds or individual dogs may have a more pronounced need for physical contact than others, this could also be a reason why they sit on your feet.
