I have learned so much. I have learned that my baby boy is dependent on me and he needs me. I have learned that I am dependent on him and I need him. He showed me how to truly love. He loves me free of any biases and I am truly his favorite. He helped me show that kind of love to others and to him. He is my best friend and I go everywhere with him. I have learned a lot of responsibility because I have to make sure he always has food, gets his shots and medicines, goes outside as often as possible so he is not uncomfortable, I have to play with him and make sure he is happy. It is big job and lot of responsibility being a dog owner. I rescued him from a shelter and wanted to give him a forever home where he would be safe from harm and never be scared again. In return I get all his love, affection and attention. I can tell he appreciates me as much as I do him. He is my child and he is treated as such. I have learned a lot from little man. He is a six pound Chihuahua. He is the best thing that ever happened to me.

Patience, money, time, and above all love. Raising a dog takes alot of all of these to do so successfully.
Your dog will chew your shoes, wake you up in the middle of the night, and mess on your floor. Patience will keep you from going crazy and wondering why you wanted the dog in the first place. Patience will also remind you that having a dog is a wonderful experience that you would not trade for the world.
Adopting, vaccinating, spay/neutering, feeding, and caring for your dog will take more money than you think. The first year alone will cost you at least $1000. But you can not buy the type of love your dog shows you with each "good morning" kiss.
Walking, training, feeding, and playing with your dog will take time. You may not spend as much time watching your favorite programs, fixing elaborate dinners, or hanging out with friends. But what you will get in return in as much time from your dog as you want. S/he will give you all of their time forever.
Love is the look your dog gives you from across the room, the look on your face when someone wants to pet her on the way to the park, how your feel when he finally "sits" on command, and warm mass next to you on a cold night.

What I have learned with my four dogs is that each breed is different and each personality is different.
You need to be patient, need to understand the breeds characteristics, need to know the history of the breeds or even try to know the history of the breeds that are mixed together.
I enjoy caring and loving my dogs it is the most rewarding thing I am able to do.
The most important thing for advice is be thorough on your choices in dogs make sure the dog will fit to your lifestyle and living areas.
Good luck

Well for one, If you want the dog to be nice with many, take it practically everywhere you go.
What ever you want it to continue to do praise it, If you don't want it to continue doing something scold it. And if you want to teach it to do something then be persistant. And give treats :)
Other then that 2 meals a day in whatever amounts depends on the dog size, and pick up after it cause no boby likes to step in dog sh*t.

How do they typically do on short automobile journeys? I truthfully have had some canines that do very nicely and a few that drool and hyperventilate... so evaluate that. Are you bringing a crate for once you're able to bypass away them by myself? We did while we took one in each of ours to the mountains with us and it became right into a clever circulate. It stored the canine wisely restrained, and in case you difficulty approximately theft you ought to continually positioned a pair of bike locks on the crate in case you're out. finally, once I have been given lower back domicile I mentioned that i'd in all probability by no ability take the canine on a highway holiday lower back. you are able to not bypass into eating places with the puppy and you will't bypass away it in a warm automobile, exceedingly in GA. that's amazingly restrictive. in case you come across yet another sitter for those 2 you've greater freedom and much less stress on your holiday. you ought to in all probability come across a young person on your community that should do it for $20, that is only a weekend after all.

i learned that you have to be very patient when you are house training them or teaching them tricks because dogs are side tracked very easily. i also learned they need lots of attention or your dogs friendship with you will drift away and he will start showing more aggression towards people because he/she will think that people will just betray him. and they only act as how they are trained and taken care of.
