Did you just adopt a dog? This is more than just a journal, inside you will find places to put photos, to record important likes and dislikes, and a lot of pages full of helpful information about training, behavior, and more. Maybe you or someone you know is adding a puppy to their family soon?

It was the first time I really wouldn’t see my pups on a regular basis or even be able to adopt one (or a few) of my own. I immediately signed up for the first training class. She was shortly adopted afterwards into a loving family. I was heartbroken. What a great opportunity!” I thought to myself.

Early Adopter. The Shift: Instead of buying your new friend from a pet store or breeder, adopt one from a shelter. Save the Planet: Adopting a shelter pet not only saves a life, but it reduces demand for purebred animals, which are more likely to have medical problems due to genetic abnormalities.

They require little training since they already know the rules. For info about adopting an older dog, see The Senior Dog Project.

12 Tips for the Obama Family and Their New Adopted Dog, Bo. But first, if adopted, determine what the dog was previously used to. Several very short (a few minutes at a time) training sessions throughout the day are much better than one longer one. In other words, be ready to work training sessions into play times.

And I received confirmation of something I've known since 2004, when we adopted retired racing greyhound, Violet Rays: That there's sort of a critical period for dog-behavior acquisition, and if it's missed, the dog isn't likely to mature into the type of loving being whose behavior we've come to associate with "pet" dogs.

The rewards of training a dog to perform a new trick, for example, can teach kids the importance of perseverance. Choosing to adopt an animal from a shelter, especially an older dog or cat, can add to the sense of fulfillment, knowing that you’ve provided a home to a pet that may otherwise have been euthanized.

Perception is a tough nut to crack, but in adopting a street dog, you automatically create an ambassador. One pet street dog can change the hearts and minds of dozens or hundreds of other potential adopters by showing who street dogs really are. They want to know about my scars and whether it was hard to train me (whatever that means).

I like field guides based on taxonomic systems, probably because I’ve been trained to work with obscure classificatory systems. When you review the system, it makes perfect sense: falcons are placed with hawks, nightjars are next to owls, and grebes are close to ducks, rather than separated from them by quail and grouse.

While the addition of salt and coriander to beer may seem like a strangely modern technique, spiced wheat beers are a northern European tradition that likely dates to the Middle Ages, perhaps a vestige predating the widespread adoption of hops.

Animals in the tri-state area are euthanized daily, rescue groups are unable to save as many lives as they wish, and animals spend years in boarding kennels while awaiting adopters to fall in love with them. If you work full time and already have a dog, you can always request a dog-friendly foster pet who is house-trained.

That's one of the reasons adopting wasn't a stretch for me at all mentally. Of course, you're supposed to hop onto the following train of thought: These are good people.

I’d always wanted a dog, and we had talked about adopting one for a while. If you have your own pool, it’s probably a good idea to train your pet to escape using the stairs in event of a fall. When my aunt and uncle asked my fiancé and me if we’d watch Trevor for the weekend while they were out of town, I jumped at the chance.
