There are many reasons you may want to add a second dog to your family. Whatever your reason may be, try to avoid being too impulsive and just doing it.
Dehydrated Dog
Hot summer days can be hard on your dog. Just like you, they can overheat, but unlike you, they can’t just go get a drink of water, unless of course, you have provided well for their needs.
Healthy Dog Coat
One of the best ways you can gauge your dog’s health is by the health and appearance of his coat, which means you need to keep his coat looking good in order for it to give you a true indication.
Puppy Crate Training
Many people feel like it’s cruel to crate train your new pup, but in fact, there are many good reasons to crate train your puppy…none of which are to confine your dog for for long periods of time – that is cruel!
Teething Puppy
So your new puppy is teething…it is painful to him/her, and it can be painful to you if he starts gnawing on your new shoes or the legs of your chairs.
Dog Agression vs Playing
Dogs love to wrestle, play tug, growl, and chase each other…it’s how they have fun, but that can also look a lot like what they do when they are angry…can you tell whether they are having fun or whether they are exhibiting aggression?
