Raising a puppy can be a joy as well as a challenge. With the right canine training your new furry bundle of love can be a joy to be around for yourself, your friends, children, and other dogs.

Puppies are impressionable and their behavior can be influenced from birth. Traumatic events can leave them with stunted social skills and hurdles to becoming well socialized. It is not uncommon for a puppy to have an experience early in life that leads them to an aversion towards a relatively safe or nonthreatening experience or situation.

Training your puppy can be about much more than just commands and compliance. Exposure to different things and situations and building a normalization of things that could be perceived as threatening, can be a vital part of dog obedience.

Dogs are not just our pets to most of us. They are family. Bringing a dog into your home means years of love, companionship, and loyalty. It also means years of responsibility that includes Veterinary visits, regular feedings, grooming, and training. Not everyone is cut out to be a pet owner so before you adopt, and hopefully you will adopt from a dog rescue facility, be sure you take these factors into consideration. There are several options for dog adoption in the San Antonio and New Braunfels areas, but the best, and most ethical way is probably through a dog rescue. Buying a pet from a pet store means there’s a good chance the animal came from a puppy mill. Puppy mills do not place the dogs’ well-being at the top of their priority list. A rescue takes animals from difficult or abusive relationships and works to find loving, forever homes. Here are some reasons why it is best to avoid certain animal sellers and adopt through a dog rescue.
