What To Consider Before Getting A Dog ?
If you are going to get a dog, what kind of dog should you get and what are the responsibilities?
DOGSPET'S HEALTY
What will I face if I get a dog?
First of all, instead of thinking about which breed to get, you should face yourself, because the dog you get will bring new responsibilities into your life.These vary from breed to breed, but in general:
walking,
spending time together
regular brushing
food and water check
You will have not only moral but also financial responsibilities;
Food supply
Health checks and plans
collars
toys (optional), etc.
If you are willing to put up with all this (and it will definitely be worth it), let's take a look at what to look for when buying a dog.
What do we want a dog for?
We have accepted the responsibilities that come with getting a dog. Now we have to imagine the dog of your dreams.
''I want it for protection''
''I want a dog that I can raise with my children''
''I live in an environment that is disturbed by noise or noise, so I want a dog that doesn't bark too much''
''I want it to be calm''
''I want it to be active''
''I want it to be big, small''
''I want it to be tall, short''
''I want it to be a player''
''I want it to be a task dog''
If you describe your dream dog in a similar way, it will be the best for both you and the dog you will get.
What breed of dog?
Once we know what we want a dog for, we need to identify dog breeds with the characteristics we want.
For example, if we want a dog that protects our house and garden, a Golden Rotriever is not a good choice. But if we want an energetic, sociable, cute and playful dog that won't harm our baby, a Golden Rotriever is a good choice.
Male or female dog?
Observations and research show that female dogs are more loyal and obedient, but this can of course vary from breed to breed.
Male dogs are larger than females and by nature are more aggressive and protective, which can make you uncomfortable in crowded situations.
A female dog can be a mother and sometimes give you puppies against your will, but she doesn't always give birth and is only suitable for mating once or twice a year.
Getting a puppy or a big dog ?
Most people prefer puppies so that the dog can get used to them faster. In addition, raising a puppy will allow you to get to know your dog better and you can influence your dog's character with your behavior. However, puppies require a lot of responsibility. Although it varies from breed to breed, most are very energetic and curious. At the same time, you should provide a lot of training such as toilet training and command training. In short, you should spend a lot of time with a puppy.
A big dog has formed its personality according to the environment it is attached to. It learns later than puppies. It may have unfriendly behaviors, which shows that the dog has encountered both physical and psychological problems in its life before you were with it. These problems heal with patience and attention.
