Taming The Wild In Your Dog

Each year, thousands of parents add dogs to their households to serve as playmates and protectors of their children. For thousands of other people without children, getting a dog is often a knee jerk reaction to feeling lonely or afraid. For others, a new dog is thought to be the perfect solution to the energetic dog they currently have, or it’s a way for them to rescue a shelter dog from euthanasia. Regardless of the motive, acquiring a dog that will serve as your companion or be compatible with your growing family or any other dogs you may own, requires much more thought and planning to avoid costly mistakes than merely picking out the cutest puppy or the dog with the saddest eyes staring at you from behind the shelter fence. Tune in and learn what you need to know before you say yes to that doggie in the window.
