Is it possible to get an adult dog or is it better to get a puppy
It is a well-known fact that raising a puppy is a responsible task that requires time and patience.
Maybe it really would be better to skip this difficult stage of a dog's life and get an adult dog right away?
In a conversation with Moslenta, the head of the Russian Cynological Organization, Vladimir Golubev, answered this question.
This is as important a question as the choice of breed and other issues.
To make the right choice, the dog trainer advises to analyze your work schedule and lifestyle in general.
It is important to have a clear idea of how much time you can devote to your dog.
It is noted that choosing an adult dog will be the right choice for those who do not have much free time.
In addition, an adult dog is suitable for those who do not have much experience in caring for animals.
Often these animals are socialized, know some commands, and can be trained to use the toilet and go for walks.
All this makes keeping a dog much easier.
But at the same time, the dog handler reminds us of one important point.
A change of scenery can cause stress in an animal, and if the dog has been through a shelter, it will need time to get used to the new environment.
