1. Having to Board / Get a Pet Sitter When Traveling
2. Pet Hair
3. Cost of Medical Care
4. Inappropriate Urination/Defecation
5. Barking or Whining
6. Aggression
7. Pet Odors
Whew - those seven things, when really thought about, seem like they would almost turn-off any new potential pet owner, don't they?
Actually, these things may be annoying, and they may be something ALL pet owners need to deal with at some time or another, but all in all they can be dealt with in a way that doesn't turn you or your home upside down and inside out.
This next series will address these, one by one, in more depth and detail (I've briefly covered some of these topics before) to help you deal with these things that ALL pet owner's hate to deal with. If you have any ideas or additional information or experiences you would like to share while covering these topics - please do! I look forward to hearing from you!

I am so glad I found you. I too have been a dog owner all of my life, but most recently mom to a wonderful rat terrier mix. The first year of life was great, but he hit 1 year and oh my the "terribles" have set in. Does not come when called, whines, tortures the cat, etc. excited to read more. And would welcome any suggestions. I am thinking we may even go back to "school".
ReplyDeleteThank you for your comment! I believe at this point implementing a strict regimen for discipline is important - but I honestly think it would benefit both of you to get professional help with this to help you during the process - let me know how it goes!
