Puppy Consult
Are you looking at getting a new puppy or dog? From a breeder or from a rescue?
There are numerous things to consider when you and your family are getting a dog or puppy.
What to Consider
When Choosing a Puppy
What Breed? How much exercise will they need? Are there health concerns? How easy or difficult is that breed to live with? Are they child-friendly etc.? If you are rescuing a dog, please consider me or another trained professional to help you evaluate the dog you are considering. I see numerous rescue dogs go from home to home, and the dog gets continually worse. Many people don’t know when picking out their potential dog from the rescue: what is the dogs’ body language saying, what are the reasons for rehoming the dog, and is it a resource guarder? How does the dog tolerate children or unfamiliar people?
