    About this ebook

    "Oh daddy, can I keep him?...Please! Powerful persuaders our little ones and Dad is seldom a match for them.

    However the story seldom ends there. It might take a couple of days, weeks or a few months but no matter the time frame the questions and pleas for help are normally the same: “How do I get this dog to stop peeing on my floor?” My dog won’t come when I call him” Or: “my dog is chewing on, well everything what do I do?”

    This stage is what I normally refer to as the New Dog Hangover or the Morning After Phase. The time where the thrill and excitement of owning a new pet ends and the reality of responsible dog ownership begins.

    This book is a must read for individuals who are “just looking” and are not ready to commit to having a new dog or puppy in their home. However, this book is also intended for those people who already have a 4-legged friend and now want or need a little assistance. This is not another "Dog Training" handbook; in fact, it is the opposite. This is more of a "People Training" book for dogs.

      Introduction

      Daddy, can I keep

      him? . . .Please!

      Over the years, I have witnessed the sale of many puppies to people who were in their words, just looking and not ready to buy. How does this happen? One example is the determined father. He does not intend to purchase a puppy and makes it clear from the beginning. The puppies are cute but he is strong, holding firm to his decision that he is here to just look. However, in no time he is writing a check while his daughter dances around with her new puppy in her arms. What happened? This father had forgotten the power of his daughter’s batting eyes and gleeful plea: Oh daddy, can I keep him?...Please! Powerful persuaders our little ones, and Dad is seldom a match for them.

      However, the story seldom ends there. It might take a couple of days, weeks, or a few months but no matter the time frame the questions and pleas for help are normally the same: How do I get this dog to stop peeing on my floor?, My dog won’t come when I call him, or My dog is chewing on, well everything, what do I do?"

      This stage is what I normally refer to as the New Dog Hangover or the Morning After Phase. The time where the thrill and excitement of owning a new pet ends, and the reality of responsible dog ownership begins.

      I decided to write this book to help individuals who are just looking and are not ready to commit to having a new dog or puppy in their home. However, this book is also intended for those people who already have a 4-legged friend and now want or need a little assistance. This is not another Dog Training handbook; in fact, it is the opposite. This is more of a People Training book.

      Chapter 1

      Where to Purchase Your Puppy

      Rescue or Purchase?

      As a volunteer for my local Humane Society, I look into the eyes of sheltered animals weekly and feel sick that they do not have a family to love and care for them. However, I must also keep in mind that not all people or families are a good match for a dog that has been surrendered to a shelter.

      Families that have young children and some elderly people might not be suitable owners of a dog that has not been properly socialized and or trained. If you are considering the possibility of adopting a rescue or sheltered dog, please keep a few things in mind to ask the shelter or rescue workers:

      • Has the dog been rescued or placed with a family before? Many dogs are adopted out and then returned to the shelter due to obedience and/or medical problems.

      • Has the dog been given any training while in the care of the shelter? I know that my local shelter provides Canine Good Citizen training classes that volunteers attend with one of the sheltered dogs. However, not all shelters have the ability to offer this type of training service to their animals.

      • Has the dog been treated for medical issues while in the care of the shelter? My daughter rescued two dogs, at different times, from her local shelter in Arizona. Both dogs had to be returned to the shelter due to extreme
