The dog handler pointed out the importance of communicating with his dog

He noted that communication with a dog helps to build an emotional bond with a pet, contributes to its mental stability.

"By talking to a four—legged friend in a calm tone, you help him form a strong nervous system, which, in turn, will allow the pet to better cope with any stress," the specialist said.
