Dogs will always be excited during their first time out. Dogs, especially when still untrained, gets easily distracted. It could be a squirrel, pigeons, other dogs, people, no matter; the dog's attention has to be controlled. During the initial walks outside, be mindful that the dog is naturally inclined to chase and play. They require more food, more supplies, more space, and more intensive training. Compared to other dog sizes, giant dogs are more functional and more fun to be with, especially if you are the type of owner who loves the outdoors. Age When it comes to age, you have three choices. You can choose from puppies, adult dogs, and senior dogs. They would rather stay at home and be comfortable sitting in zones that are comfortable to them. The dog would love a walk outside but sometimes it would refuse. Larger dog breeds tend to be so. There are also moments when a supposedly active breed will refuse walks outside. On the other hand, there are dogs that are shy and would occasionally refuse. Why People Don t Usually Adopt Senior Dogs There are many misconceptions around adopting old dogs. On top of not having plenty of time to stay with the adoptive family, old dogs are considered financial burdens because they require plenty of medical attention. But what dog doesn t? Older dogs are more susceptible to developing diseases, yes, but being playful and young does not guarantee perfect health. Without that energy is pent up and they could potentially be destructive inside the house. For athletic and active people though, no dog breed is as good. Intelligence Who would not want an intelligent dog? The sad thing about this is that you cannot have all the characteristics that you want written down to one dog. The dog is appreciative, patient with its owners, loyal and protective. Because of these, even the sternest of dog owner's fall into the trap of pampering the dog sometimes unmindful of the effect of the temporary indulgence. Who would not? It is so difficult to refuse a dog giving you dog eyes when you are sitting at your table begging for man food.
