Finding The Perfect Puppy For Your Family
Did the Savvy Family find the perfect dog? The answer is I dont know. Maybe, but probably not. While there are many things to look for when selecting a puppy the ability to wink, in my experience, is nowhere near the top of that list. Imagine a year from now, coming home from a long day in the salt mines to find that your now 200 lb little bundle of joy has just eaten your favorite chair and is halfway through the sofa as you walk through the door. As shock turns to horror, the dog lifts his head and looks you in the eye then winks. Everythings all better, right?
In the world of instant gratification that we live in, its no wonder when we decide that we want something, many of us simply go out and get it now. We tell ourselves that well figure the rest of it out later. Speaking from experience, this strategy rarely works. Just ask my ex-wife.
Unfortunately, Ive discovered that many families put more thought into selecting a brand of toothpaste than they do selecting a family pet. The irony is, in many of those families, I find the tube of toothpaste actually lasts longer than the dog does. Perhaps someday your children will learn what the CIA now knows, water boarding is not the best long-term solution.
Its no wonder that some people make snap decisions when it comes to adding a dog to the family pack? I have a cousin who decided to have a baby because she loves how babies smell. Being the father of three boys I warned her that while children do continue to smell for a lifetime, that cute baby smell goes away on the second box of Pampers! Be careful what you wish for.
So, how should you go about picking the perfect puppy for your family? Great question, Im glad I asked it. While I have no magic beans, there are some things you can do to greatly improve your odds of having a successful adoption. Over the past 15 years, Ive worked with hundreds of families training their puppies and dogs. Most call me when they realize that little wink thing isnt working. Based on my experience, let me give you a few things to consider before you go out and thrust your family dynamics into chaos for the next 15 years.
The good new is, when it comes to canines, your choices are almost unlimited. Dogs come in all shapes, sizes and temperaments. Each specific breed has characteristics that most dogs of that breed will exhibit. Doing your homework and selecting the right breed is the single most important thing you can do to ensure a happy ending to this four-legged story.For any information regarding our services please visit at: www.smilingdogpetservices.com or you can Contact us at [email protected]
