Long as their Really tuned in and motivated regardless Of your age though teaching a new dog Can be so gratifying we learned so much About ourselves when raising a new dog Virtues like patience empathy and love Are strengthened when we teach dogs and You learn about consistency in the Feeling of accomplishment no matter how Many dogs you teach you learned that They’re all different and all require a Unique approach you are definitely a Different dog and every single one of Them can teach us something new you’re Teaching me that I don’t want my ears Bitten today there are some things You’re gonna need to consider before you Pitch your parents for a new dog I mean It is no joke that dogs especially Puppies like this are a ton of work see What I mean we’re talking about not Letting you sleep well for weeks nipping Puppy biting and chewing up everything In sight and none of these issues are Resolved quickly either It takes a year of dedicated sustained Training before you can even begin to Consider your dog trained it’s really Important to have everybody in the Family on board and excited about a new Dog when you get one if you’re young You’ve got a lot going on with school Extracurricular activity maybe you even Got a part-time job but you’re really
