So You Want a Dog - The Six Keys to a Successful Relationship

In clear, concise detail, So You Want a Dog covers the essential concerns that new owners should consider before obtaining a new dog and bringing it home. While thinking about all of the fun things people can do with a dog, and how articles have been written about their therapeutic assistance to people across the board, little is written about the day-to-day requirements of the dog and what living with them is really like. Far too often, people become smitten by a cute puppy, or a dog at the pet store that needs a new home. Without a second thought, they bring the puppy or dog home, little realizing that there is much more to dog ownership than just bringing one home. This results in more than 6.5 million dogs and cats entering the shelter or rescue system each year.

So You Want a Dog covers the six important keys that can help a new dog owner make the decision of whether they should get a dog at this time. They will be more aware of the years of commitment that are required, the time that is necessary to allow the dog to thrive, how the dog will fit in the family and lifestyle, and if finances may be a concern. They will also learn more about breeds as a whole, what the different groups of breeds are and mean, how to locate a reliable source for the puppy or dog, as well as the basics of living with the dog. Also included are the top reasons why people get rid of their dogs, how to avoid those issues, how to find assistance if the dog owner finds that they are in need of food, housing or medical care and the pros/con and dos/don’ts of owning a dog.

This book can help those who are considering a dog for the first time, as well as those who already have a dog or two, as it is packed with information that is relevant to a quality owner/dog relationship. Readers will be much better able to make an educated decision about the purchase of a puppy or dog and whether or not this is a good time for them to be adding that commitment to their lives.
