Adopting a dog by Andrew Strachan

If you have been thinking of getting a new dog, have you considered all the options available to you? The obvious choice people make, when considering a new dog is to go to a specialized dog breeder. A good dog breeder will be able to sell you a puppy that has been checked for genetic problems, diseases etc and will very often provide you with a high quality pedigree dog that should be free from problems that plague a lot of dogs.
This is ideal for a lot of people but of course will come at a price. There is an alternative - adopting a puppy or adult dog.
There are lots of dogs that are without homes at animal shelters or humane societies. These animals are often a victim of circumstance. Either an owner has died, or an elderly person cannot cope any more. Sadly through no fault of their own, they have ended up homeless. Adopting a dog, may be a great way to offer a loving home to one of these dogs.
A lot of people are concerned that they may end up with an unhealthy dog, or a dog that may be aggressive by getting one from a shelter. Most animal shelters will check a dog for good health and good temperament, so if there are any problems you will be told about them. Also, a lot of shelters offer in-house training to increase the chances of a dog finding a new home. Which is great for everybody!
The best way to go about adopting a dog is to pay a visit to your nearest animal shelter. Explain to the staff there, what kind of dog would suit you and your family. Bear in mind that if you have very small children, getting a large dog may not be a good idea. Similarly if you have an apartment, maybe think about getting a small dog that doesn't require vast amounts of exercise. A bit of forethought before you arrive will make finding the perfect dog for you that much easier.
When you bring your new dog home, try and imagine things from her perspective. Your new dog has probably been through a lot in the past so bringing her to yet another new home may well be overwhelming. The best thing to do is keep her on a leash at first, and gradually introduce her to your home letting her sniff each room until she has got a feel for her new surroundings. Also take her to relieve her bladder outside if she has been on a long car journey with you.
Once she has settled down, allow her to walk freely off the leash inside your home (not outside off the leash yet). This will give her a chance to find 'her' spot. By this I mean her favorite place. We all have a favorite spot where we like to go, dogs are no different. If you have bought a new dog bed or blanket for your new arrival, this may be the place to put it. She will naturally go to that spot so having a comfy new bed there will help her settle in.
Your new dog may be very quiet for the first few days but don't worry, this is part of the settling in process. After a short while your dog will be a fully settled in new member of the family.
Adopting from an animal shelter is a great way to get a new companion and a great way to make a new and happy future for your dog.

Puppy Obedience Training (New!) - You would not be the first person to get taken in by that cute little puppy in the window. Many owners don’t realize how much responsibility goes along with that type of impulse purchase. Or perhaps you have long planned to add a canine addition to your family. Irregardless of how and why you have chosen your dog, it is here to stay and it must behave. The biggest mistake an owner can make is...

Litter Box Training Dog - Tips for litter box training your dog - Sadly, too many dog owners do not realize the time commitments involved in bringing a new dog into the home. If you do not currently have the quality time to spend with your family members, including yourself, you should not take on the added responsibility of a dog. Dogs, in particular, need a minimum of 15 minutes per day individual quality time spent with their humans much more when in the process of potty training. Do you think it would be neat to train your smaller dog to use a litter box? It is best to train a dog while still a puppy. It isn't impossible to train an adult dog, but the earlier that you develop good habits, the less likely the dog is to fall back to some previous behavior...

How to obedience train your dog - In a household that already includes an infant child - and all the attention needed for a baby girl - welcoming a Bichon Frise puppy into the family can be viewed as masochistic. The father saw the situation that way, but the mother was more enthused about the idea of how the puppy could relate to the daughter and 6-year-old son. "Come on," she said. "It can be a puppy they can play with and grow up with." Her eyes looked as babyish and playful as the little dog's eyes, as she tried to strike a chord with her husband's soft side...

Kennel Cough (NEW) - Whether it’s a human or a dog coughing, the sickness should be treated or reacted upon with the same intensity. The natural reaction when a dog coughs continuously is that the pet is choking or is seriously ill. Dog owners come to realize their pet has contracted a virus known as kennel cough, or in more technical terms, infectious trancheobronchitis. Exposure to other dogs greatly enhances the chance that the common and usually non-serious respiratory disease will be transmitted. In case your dog is infected by kennel cough, you may want to seek advice and recommendations from a veterinarian. This article describes what the vet will tell you in a nutshell....

Dog Accessories - Gone are the days when you bring home only Milk-Bone Dog Biscuits for your pup. Now, for example, you might feel the urge to make your dog feel more special by combining the biscuits with a crystal pink collar and leash from Bloomingdale’s that costs as much as $100. The fashion-sense world now requires a little bling to go with the bones for dogs of all types. Dog accessories once considered outlandish are now becoming the norm to reward the canine. Instead of throwing your dog a bone, you might instead honor your dog by buying a “Bed of Roses” from Cath Kidston that sells for $85. The small dog bed is sized for a puppy and has a removable seat for washing. Dog accessories were once considered a simple collar and leash with an occasional goofy shirt to slip over the dog for a good laugh or two. Mainstream retailers are now selling dog accessories that include...
