YNP #002: Which Type of Dog is Right for You?

Once you have decided that you are ready for a dog (if you haven’t check out episode 1) it’s time to figure out which dog is right for you.

During this episode, I talk about 10 different traits to think about to help you decide what type of dog will best fit into your life.

While I use examples of different breeds, I do this just to give you a picture of what I’m talking about. Deciding which traits and qualities are best for you isn’t about picking a specific breed. My goal for you is to just be aware that all different types of dogs exist.

Remember it is possible to find a dog that you will not only love and care for but that will fit into your life so you can have the best experience possible. I believe that is essential in doing what is best for both your family and the new member you are welcoming in!

The specific traits I will talk about are:

• Size
• Energy
• Training
• Shedding
• Grooming
• Noise
• Territorial
• Gender
• Climate
