It's high time to address some of the hardest pups to place out there . . . the older dog in a shelter. Stuck with stigmas of "reject" or "difficult," or worse, they often collect overlooked for the fresh starts of playful puppies. Well, or as someone who's raised a few pets from lil ones,it's not all fun and fluff. Before you head straight for the babes, check out five solid reasons to start with the large guys.
Break-ins - Potty training is no joke, and especially for newbies. When you collect a dog at an older age,especially one who has spent time in a foster home, much of the most difficult share is already done. Starting with an already housebroken, and almost housebroken,pet is easier than starting from scratch.
Miracle grown - It would be quite the shock to adopt what you expect to be a small pooch and close up with someone more akin to a St. Bernard. whether you collect a dog as an adult, you know that your teensy pooch is not gonna become large and in charge in a few months.
Tricksters - While training needs to continue at any age, and getting an adult pooch can allow you to contain a pup that already knows the basic commands and possibly some tricks,too. Bonus.
Less Mouthy - Adult dogs contain their grown-up teeth that can obtain them better for you and your beloved shoes.
Chilled out - As dogs collect older, they tend to collect calmer. Adopting an adult or senior dog lets you contain a calmer pal around the house whether that's the lifestyle you prefer.
