First, owning a dog entails responsibility. They need lots of attention especially if you plan to own a puppy. Puppies requires most of the attention that you could give. This is also the stage where the puppy tries to communicate and to socialize. This is very important because this sets the foundation when you want to train your dog later on. So, if you don't have the time then forget owning one.
Secondly, you should know your pet's diet. yes, it may be tempting to feed the dog with cheap dog food but this could affect the dog's health. You should feed your dog with nutritious foods and check the food reviews before giving something to your dog.
Thirdly, training your dog entails lot of patience and hard-work. Trained dog are easier to manage and care for. Training does not start at a certain age, rather it starts as soon as you bring your dog or puppy at your home.
