Potential Time Commitment Issues

Dog Ownership is Full Time

A Realistic Approach and Considerations

Lack of Personal Time Flexibility

Puppies/Dogs, as pets, are living animals that are almost fully dependent on you the owner.

Owning a pet dog is an every-day commitment/responsibility for you the owner. Dogs cannot open locked doors
Feeding, walks, play time must be on a daily routine basis
Training time with professional advisors or by you the owner involves extended periods of calm and patience
Turn your phone off

Dogs do not do well if their daily routine is interrupted.

Require increase Time Needs Daily

Consider how much time you the owner has for daily dog attention.

Some dogs require great distances for proper exercise and avoidance of health issues
High-energy dogs may develop behavioural issues if not properly exercised daily
An important consideration for herding and working breed dogs is the fact that they require 1- 3 hours of daily outdoors exercise.

The breed of pet dog has a major effect on you the owner’s spontaneity in life.

Time and Costs

Time requirements for a dog owner can reduce spontaneity and a personal lifestyle change.

Taking a pet dog with you involves costs such as international inoculations, flight tickets, permit of entry, finding a pet friendly accommodation
Hiring dog-sitters or boarding at your destination may need to be arranged in advance and may cost non-refundable financial deposits

Make certain you totally understand puppy/dog regulations in your destiny jurisdiction.
