Getting A Puppy Or Dog

One reason is responsibility. Parents always want their kids to grow up and become responsible. Well having a dog is a good way for responsibility.you have to remember to feed them close to the same time everyday. Filling up their water when it is empty or close to empty,so you have to pay attention. Taking the dog on walks to make sure it gets the proper exercise it needs. Bathing the dog even if it becomes a struggle and taking them to the vet to make sure they are healthy.

Every dog is a responsibility, and it takes a kind hearted person to go through the process of adoption. Through shelters it’s about an hour process to adopt. They ask for your current pets (if there is any) vet, the phone number of the vet, every one who lives in the house phone number, so they can call and see if they are okay with having a new furry friend in the house. They give scenarios that could possibly happen with a new puppy in the house for example, what do you do if the puppy is digging in the yard? Or what do you do if the mailman comes to the door and the dog starts barking? The process is long but it is worth it. The shelters even off puppy training classes that’ll teach them household manners, which includes potty training, leash training so that they will be able to go on walks without having to wear a harness. You get so much out of adoption that you don’t get from pet stores that will not offer. With my new adoption I was offered classes for him. Puppy classes, intermediate, therapy dogs, than k9 classes.

In conclusion, I think that a second dog would be a great addition to my family. We could save a life, and not have to worry as much about our dog always being bored and lonely. Although this situation does have many cons, I think that in the end there will be more positives. It may be a rough start, but it won’t be for long. There are many dogs who need good homes, and I hope that I will be able to help one

Imagine walking in the door after a long day; your furry loving puppy is sprinting towards you so excited to see you after missing you all day. Your puppy is ready to grab your attention and distract you from the terrible day you’ve had, comforting you in the process. Dogs are great pets because of their comforting nature, playfulness and protective tendencies.

• This breed may not be the best choice for kids, unless you get a puppy to grow up with your children

Expose your puppy to different types of people. This can be done by taking them to public places, or if you are more cautious, by inviting friends and family to your

Everyone wants a second chance. Giving second chances maybe the highlight of their new life! Many have been abused, hurt, or just dumped off on the road. However, you can give the dogs a second chance by giving them a new family and adopting them. Give them the love that they truly deserve. “Every animal that you adopt is a life saved,”(Kowalski) says Bethany Meissner, of the Washington Humane Society. In puppy mills, conditions are truly horrifying, from being crammed into a cage with three or four dogs to not getting any room to jump, play, or run. Some never actually felt the grass on their paws or even chased a squirrel. By not buying a dog at a store and adopting them and giving them a second chance, you can help not support puppy mills and what they stand by. Puppy mills get their money by selling online or to store, so why not help a life and give a dog a second chance by adopting at your local humane society.

Owning a puppy is a big commitment for all family members, especially in the first few days or weeks. Everyone knows that cats and dogs are as different as day and night. Dogs will play frisbee with you all afternoon

Raising a puppy is not all that easy when you start to think about how much money, and how much time you are going to have to spend with it. Lets say you just bought a puppy and you leave it at home because you work 12 hours a day, is that puppy really going to be happy? And what about potty training it? If you give it no attention it will never learn to be able to do the things it needs to do to live by itself. You have to spend time with it, take it outside, give it food, play with it, so it knows you and has a bond with

There are many things to consider before adopting. First, bringing a dog into your life is a commitment of often, many years. Especially if you adopt a puppy. Adopting a puppy, you should be willing to commit 10-15 years on average, and be willing to take care of that dog through sickness and through health. Making sure all family members in the household are on board for this is also very important. Considering the ages of your family members is important as well. Having young kids in the home, you may want to think twice about adopting a very young puppy or a very small breed that is under 15 pounds. Young children do not understand how to act around dogs, especially ones on the smaller size and accidents can happen. The new dog must fit the physical capabilities of everyone in the household as well or at least the main

Ever since I was little, I had wanted a dog. For my parents, however the idea of having a dog was sort of a nightmare. They didn’t believe I was ready for this massive responsibility, and expected they’d be the ones taking care of the dog. This went on for years and I always received the same answer, that a dog was too great of a responsibility. However, this all changed a little over a year ago when my Uncle Bill was looking to breed his yellow lab Cloe, thus I put him in contact with my cousin Chris who has an excellent black lab stud. Both Brady and Cloe have developed into fantastic gun dogs, and knowing the puppies were coming from their genetic background made this the perfect opportunity to finally buy a dog, making it now or never. It was fairly simple getting my dad to climb on board with the idea of buying a puppy, my mom was another story. Finally, she caved in and made it vastly clear that she would have no part in taking care of the dog. (Just for a quick side note, she now happens to love that dog and spoils him every chance she can.) Approximately ten months ago I can happily say that I was able to bring home a black lab puppy that I named Trigger. Being a first time dog owner, I hadn’t the slightest idea how to raise a puppy, nor how much work they truly were. I was clueless on everything from potty training to obedience training. Becoming a dog owner has changed me, since it given me the sense responsibility. For example, before owning a dog my studies

The first thing you need to do is keep your dog inside and way from male dogs during its first couple of cycles. You do not want your dog to become pregnant when it is still a puppy itself. You want your dog to be strong enough and old enough to take care of its litter on its own.

As my parents, you are aware that the topic of a dog has been in the air. We have not had a dog for a whole year on March 19, 2017 and my siblings and I think it is time to get one.

Puppies are amazing, special creatures that seem to be born with that unconditional unique quality of love and loyalty for their humans. Depending on the prospective owner, dogs make the best of companions, with the potential to love, cuddle and play.

Pets are loved by everyone for many reasons; no matter what breed of animal you own, they can bring happiness to your lives. However, when you are thinking of getting a pet for the first time, whether it is as a new addition to your current family of pets or a replacement for one that sadly is no longer amongst you, there is a lot to consider when keeping a pet.
