How to Adopt a Happy, Healthy
Dog or Puppy
Congratulations! You have decided
to adopt a dog or puppy. Now you have some other decisions
to make. What size dog is best? Will a dog fit your
lifestyle?
Perhaps you are not sure if
you want to adopt a dog or not. Or, maybe someone
in your family wants a dog but others do not think
a dog is a good idea. How will you decide what
to do?
These questions and many more are
answered in our FREE Online Seminar and Course on Dog Adoption.
There are lots of reasons for
wanting a dog:
- You just lost a dog who you considered your
best friend and feel frantic to get another
dog.
- Your friend just got a great dog.
- A family member is lobbying for a dog.
- You fondly remember a dog you had in earlier
years and think that is what you need or what
your children need.
Whatever your reasons for wanting
a dog, you need to evaluate carefully whether
you are prepared to raise a dog and what type
of dog fits your current lifestyle or family.

Are You a First-time Dog Owner?
Dog ownership lasts for the whole
life of the dog – for many dogs that is
12 to 15 years. Getting a dog is a lot like having
a baby – there is much to do to prepare.
There is a baby stage which
is very labor-intensive on your part, there is
a toddler stage and an adolescent stage which
can both be a bit trying on your patience, then
comes the long and happy relationship (if you
got through the earlier stages successfully),
and then there is a “senior” stage
during which your dog may be on medications or
need your help. The commitment is long but should
be rewarding.
There is nothing like the devotion
of a great dog. Be sure you deserve that devotion
and unconditional love.
Which Dog to Adopt?
There are lots of dogs from which
to choose – over 250 breeds worldwide plus
many designer dogs and untold numbers of mixed
breed dogs. You can get a puppy, a grown dog,
or an older dog. You can get a male or a female.
You can get a dog from a shelter, a breeder, or
a friend. You need to take your time to get the
right dog for you.
Every year 5 to 8 million dogs
are relinquished to shelters. Why? In most cases,
the family is simply not prepared for the type
of dog they have. Many of these dogs are later
euthanized.
It is important, therefore, to make
sure you know what you are getting. It is just as
important to be fully prepared for your dog or puppy
and the commitment it will need. The Free Online Seminar and Mini Course on Adopting a Dog will help you learn
the costs and demands of dog adoption and ownership.

to keep your dog active and busy.

All dogs are pack animals. Wherever
there are two or more dogs, there is a pack and
one dog is a pack leader. When you bring a dog
into your home, you and your family members are
part of his pack. Someone has to be the pack leader
or Alpha Dog. You do not want your dog to be the
Alpha Dog. Are you prepared to be the pack leader?
Do you know how to be the pack leader?
Learn
more about becoming a good pack leader through
our Adopting and Owning a Dog Mini Course.
