Helpline: Are you ready?

Are you ready for your new family member?

A dog can make your day and soothe you when you're down. A dog doesnt judge his owner, and will love you unconditionally. He will do all he can do please you, and protect you even if it means putting his little life at risk.

However, do you know what you're getting yourself into; the moment you decide  you would like to get a dog?

Here are some quick questions from our checklist:
1) Are you ready to devote the next 15 years of your life caring and loving your dog?

2) Are you ready to sacrifice "me" time to go back to feed or play with your dog?

3) Can you afford the added expenses for your dog? (basic expenses like food, toys and grooming may not be of top priority to some owners.)

4) Have you spent enough time reading up on Doggy Care and Doggy Psychology?

5) Are you ready to spend good time in the initial phases toilet training and basic training? [do note that different breeds have different needs!]

Dogs, as much as you would like to shower them with love, remain as canines. you HAVE to constantly remind yourselves that you have to be his pack leader. Only when your dog sees you as his pack leader, can affection come into play. All dogs, regardless of breed, needs to have walks. You HAVE to find a dog that suits the energy or is of a lower energy than you. (meaning, if your not an athlete, do not get a dog that will gladly run a marathon). Dogs are of differing intelligences as well, it is in the owner's duty to find a dog whose intelligence and "train-ability" matches their own wants (ie. requiring the dog to remember not to attack your mother's favourite Vase).

A lot of work has to be done to make sure you find your paw-fect little one.
We'd love to help you in your journey.

"Arf Arf!"
that's our pups saying "we agree!"
