Sample Book Insights:
#1 It’s important to remember that choosing a dog is a huge commitment, and one that can last for fifteen years or more. It’s crucial to do your homework. Too many people decide to get a dog on a whim, and they wind up having to give their pet away after they realize they just can’t handle the responsibility.
#2 If you work a lot, don’t get a dog. Dogs require mental and physical stimulation, and you can’t expect good results if you cut corners and only give your dog a moderate amount of exercise.
#3 It’s important to set your expectations: Your new dog will make mistakes and do things you’re not happy about. You must be willing to accept that this is all normal and remember there is a light at the end of the tunnel.
#4 The costs of taking care of a dog can vary greatly depending on the size and age of your dog, his grooming needs, where you live, and personal choice. They can range from about $1,000 a year to ten times that.

#1

It’s important to remember that choosing a dog is a huge commitment, and one that can last for fifteen years or more. It’s crucial to do your homework. Too many people decide to get a dog on a whim, and they wind up having to give their pet away after they realize they just can’t handle the responsibility.

#2

If you work a lot, don’t get a dog. Dogs require mental and physical stimulation, and you can’t expect good results if you cut corners and only give your dog a moderate amount of exercise.

#3

It’s important to set your expectations: Your new dog will make mistakes and do things you’re not happy about. You must be willing to accept that this is all normal and remember there is a light at the end of the tunnel.

#4

The costs of taking care of a dog can vary greatly depending on the size and age of your dog, his grooming needs, where you live, and personal choice. They can range from about $1,000 a year to ten times that.

#5

Dogs are great, but they require care and attention, as well as space to run around. Make sure you check with your landlord or homeowners’ association to see if they allow dogs before getting one.

#6

There are advantages and disadvantages to getting a puppy versus an adult dog. Adopting an adult dog may require more patience, but they are usually less destructive chewers, jumpers, and pullers of leash.

#7

The size of the dog has nothing to do with its personality. However, it is something you should consider when choosing a dog. Large dogs require more room to exercise, and their basic care costs more. Smaller dogs are more portable and easier to control.

#8

It is important to understand that the type of dog you choose should be based on your lifestyle and needs, not based on which breed is considered the healthiest. There are many great mixed breeds out there, and they typically cost less than purebreds.

#9

Designer dogs are a recent trend that are the result of intentional breeding of two purebreds to create a new breed that supposedly combines the best traits of both parents. However, many of these dogs come from puppy mills and backyard breeders who are looking to make a quick buck.

#10

It is important to understand that breed is just a stereotype, and not an absolute truth. You must get to know your dog individually to see which traits are true of his breed.

#11

The American Kennel Club recognizes 189 breeds and divides them into seven major dog groups based on what they were bred to do. Some dogs will largely fit their stereotype, while others won’t at all.

#12

There are many benefits to adopting a dog from a shelter or rescue group. You’re providing a home to an animal who is truly in need, and you’re possibly saving his life. The cost of the dog is minimal compared to getting one at a breeder or pet store, and in most cases your pet will come vaccinated, microchipped, dewormed, and spayed or neutered, saving you hundreds of dollars.

#13

You can find reputable breeders by asking people you trust for the names of breeders they recommend. You should also visit a prospective breeder and see the puppies in person.

#14

Getting a dog from a pet store supports an unethical business practice: most dogs sold at pet stores come from puppy mills. These mills produce dogs with poor conditions who then end up in shelters when they grow up.

#15

About 15 to 30 percent of people with allergies are allergic to dogs, specifically to their dander, urine, or saliva. However, no particular type of dog is truly hypoallergenic.

#16

Pit Bulls are a breed that has been stereotyped as being aggressive, when in reality, they are just as friendly and loving as other dogs. They are commonly found in shelters and rescue groups, so you can always go to these places to find a good one.

#17

If you’re willing to board your dog at a reputable daycare center, ask a friend or family member to help out, or hire a well-vetted pet sitter, then go for it! When I had to travel overseas to film my second TV series, Who Let the Dogs Out. , I hired and trained my cousin Mark to watch my dogs and exercise them.

#18

The battle of the sexes doesn’t just apply to humans. It also applies to dogs, and people often prefer one gender of dog over the other. However, there are no studies that back up these gender qualities.

#19

When choosing your dog, you should spend a good hour or two at the local shelter, rescue organization, or breeder meeting many different dogs. Then, choose the one you click with.

#20

Energy level is the most important factor when choosing a dog. It is the easiest way to determine whether or not a dog is right for you. When interviewing many dogs, their energy is usually high due to the excitement of meeting someone new.

#21

Because these dogs lie around most of the time, they make a great companion for a relatively inactive person. They require a few short daily walks, and then they’re happy snuggling next to you for the rest of the day.

#22

Level two dogs are mellow most of the time, but they will have bursts of energy. They are great for the person who wants a hands-on role in training and teaching. They are good at almost everything, though they may not be perfect at anything.

#23

Without regular exercise, these dogs are always ready to go. They can play all day and night. The higher energy a dog has, the more teachable he is. These dogs are best for a person who has the time and energy to commit to some serious training.

#24

The expression The apple doesn’t fall far from the tree applies to dogs, too. Like people, dogs often inherit personality traits from their parents. If possible, observe the mother and father of a dog you’re considering; this may give you a ballpark idea of what the dog may be like when he is older.

#25

The eyes and overall demeanor of a dog give you the most accurate depiction of his personality and mind-set at that moment.
