Are dogs hard to take care of?

Answer 1

Yes, they are a huge commitment.

They require daily care, such as food, water, shelter, and love. Dogs should never be left outside, tied up or not. Dogs require the presence of their humans, because they are pack animals. You must commit to walking and exercising your dog daily. Grooming is important also. Training is also extremely important. You must house train your dog, and it is also encouraged to obedience train a dog, especially if you want a well behaved dog. Puppies must be socialized if you want a well behaved adult dog. Dogs are not disposable.

Vet and food bills may be pricey also, and it is highlysuggested that a new owner spays or neuters their dog, and vaccinates them also. Dogs are a lot of work, but in return you receive lots of love and respect.

Puppies are like babies. They cry in the middle of the night to go potty, and they take a lot of time, patience, money, and training. They tend to be destructive if not given enough attention, or training. If you adopt an adult dog from your local pound or rescue, you most likely already have a dog that is already house trained, and healthy. An older dog would be a more responsible choice, especially with the pet overpopulation problem that we have on our hands. 11 animals are euthanized every minute, and that only proves the problem.

Dogs require a lot of time.

Answer 2

Dogs are not hard to train, but it does take time, patience, and discipline. It may not be perfect, but a good Dog Training system is one of positive reinforcement. This means whenever a dog does what you want it to, you give the dog treat and praise. When a dog does something bad, you simply say no in a stern voice.

Answer 3

labradors are one of the best dogs breed, they are cool fellows. they are not as ferocious as German sheperds. they are good sniffers

They are also very cheap in comparison to a small dog perhaps.

Answer 4

Dachshunds are hounds and tend to be nervous and protective, so they are not the easiest breed to care for. Also, you have to be very careful of their spines because of their length and short legs. Other than that, they are pretty much as easy as any other dog to care for.

Answer 5

Labs, whatever their color, need a lot of attention. They are very people-oriented and like to play with you and be in human company. They are high-energy dogs and need exercise every day. They are smart dogs and like a challenge. Labs tend to remain puppy-like for about 2 years. This makes them require more attention, play, and discipline. So the answer is yes, they are demanding to care for. If you don't have the time and are not able to give a lab the attention it needs, then this is probably not the breed for you.
