Owning a dog is a very big commitment; It is like taking care of your very own baby. Prior to getting one of your own, you should make sure that you will be able to deal with it. I don’t want to scare you away from dogs, they are phenomenal pets. Man’s best friend is less than accurate when talking about a dog. However, they require care and love. Dogs are also expensive. You have to think about dog food, grooming, health, and possible training. In San Diego Dog Training is about five hundred dollars for a two week session and in San Diego Puppy Training costs even more Keep in mind, the relationship with your dog far balances out any money it costs you.

Owning a dog is a universal enjoyment. They act like best friends, but even more reliable. A healthy relationship between the dog and owner is be stronger than human bonds. Your dog is the only one who always greets you when you arrive home or wake up with the unaltered enthusiasm. A dog is the best shoulder to lean on as well. No dog will leave you when you feeling down; in fact, they are more likely to pull you out of it. Dogs provide the perfect date for an evening picnic as well. I cannot count the priceless memories I have of my dogs and I playing Frisbee on a beach or at the park.Though seemingly insignificant, these memories last a life time.

Dogs are fun, but they cost a good deal of money. Owning a dog is like having a child, you have to pay for its health, food and education in some way. Now, a dog doesn’t need thousands of dollars in college money like a child, more like hundreds. Getting a dog trained is important, and will probably cost about three to five hundred dollars. Another cost that comes with keeping a dog is boarding. If you go away on vacation, you will need to find a dog sitter or set your dog up at the kennel. At the lowest price, this will cost about twenty dollars a night. Also keep in mind the costs of veterinarian services, grooming or food!

As well as costing money, Dogs cost time. They are not pets like hermit crabs or fish,who are satisfied when you throw food in their cage. Dogs require nurturing and love. Dogs need to be walked at least once a week and played with. Providing a dog with the attention it needs is by no means hard, as long as you make an effort. They are not picky, as long as they’re being loved. Dogs are perfectly happy with a crummy beat up shoe or tennis ball to play with, as long as they get your attention.

When you commit to owning a dog, you take on a huge responsibility. But with this responsibility comes great opportunities! By giving a little money, love and time, you receive infinite love, gratitude and a new best friend. Dogs are the most loyal and forgiving friends you will ever have. It is an equal trade off,to spend some money and time on them for such a great friend in return.
