If you are planning on adding a new
furry member to your family you will want a well behaved one!
Good behaviour starts from before you choose your new
friend and here are some tips for getting started on the right
track.
- Choose a breed appropriate to your lifestyle. Problem behaviour is not uncommon in pets kept in the wrong environment. Be honest with yourself - for example how much exercise will you be able to give a dog?
- Check out their relatives. Try to meet mum and dad. Are they well behaved? Can you recognise any anxiety or behaviour issues in the family?
- Spend as much time as possible with a litter before you make a choice. You might feel sorry for the smallest and quietest puppy or kitten in the corner but it is best to choose a friendly and confident animal who will make a good family pet.
- Plan plan plan. The first six months are critical when starting out. Will you have time to put in essential training such as puppy pre school? Are you and your family going to be able to be consistent with training?
- Are you going to be able to provide your pet with essential health care, diet and grooming to make their life happy and comfortable?
