At What age should I purchase a dog?
Puppy VS Adult
Wether you choose a puppy or an older dog you will have to work with the transition for the dog. Its important to work at the dogs pace and not too push them too far too quick. Remember you are your dogs/puppy protector and should be aware of their environment and what might frighten them.
Consistency is key to training. Older dogs will take approx.3 months to completely settle into their new homes. I’m sure your lifestyle is very different from what they are used to.
