There are several things to consider before adding a new member to your family: Do you want an adult dog or cat or a puppy or kitten? The amount of time that you will need to spend training your new pet depends greatly on its age. A young puppy will need to be housebroken, and will need to be given the opportunity to relieve itself at least every four hours. Puppies will go through a teething phase, which can mean chewing! Kittens, while more easily housebroken (litter box trained), are full of boundless energy and may release it by climbing up curtains and other household items unless trained not to do so! How much time do you spend away from home? When pets are left alone for long periods of time (more than dog breeders in nevada 8-10 hours) they may display frustration behaviors such as barking, digging and chewing.

If you really need to sleep with your dog, then for goodness sakes, put his dog bed at the foot of your bed that keeps you both healthy. Never use a chain on your dog outdoors when you are not there to supervise. Know that dog food and water attracts wild animals to your dog if your dog is chained up outside when you are not around. This will teach the animal that chewing on their own toy or treat equals love from you, the other equals a disturbing loud noise. In time they will accept these facts and do well. Please maintain a positive attitude, you are not perfect nor is your dog. In the beginning of the relationship between you and your new pet, remember they are still learning the rules and it will take awhile for them to become accustom to your environment and how they should fit in. The more time you spend with the pet the sooner they will be trained.
