How do you cheer up a dog?

Do NOT Smother Your Dog

Instead, give your dog a treat when they show a positive change in behavior. It might also help to set up a routine for your dog. Feed them at a certain time, take them out for a daily walk, and have cuddle sessions in between; all this can help cheer your pup up.
