Dog Gives His Hooman The Hardcore Silent Treatment After Being Pranked With Kitten Noises

How to Repair the Bond After a Prank
Repairing a relationship after a perceived betrayal, even in the form of a harmless prank, involves recognizing the emotional state of both parties. Engaging in activities that the dog enjoys, such as playtime or treats, can help rebuild trust and reinforce the bond.
Moreover, understanding the dog's perspective can be beneficial. Spending quality time together, such as going for walks or participating in training exercises, can facilitate emotional recovery and restore a sense of security.
