Time & attention
Dogs need daily care: feeding, walks, playtime, training, and companionship. They don’t do well being ignored or left alone all the time.

Emotional commitment
A dog becomes part of your family. They bond with you, depend on you, and give affection back. That also means being patient during accidents, chewing phases, barking, or training struggles.

Training & guidance
Dogs aren’t born knowing rules. You teach them how to behave, where to go to the bathroom, how to walk on a leash, and how to interact with people and other animals. Remember dogs are animals there family but at the end of the day they need to be taught like we did , and its never ending. even if you stop or finish they could forget just like we could.

Financial responsibility
Food, vet visits, vaccinations, grooming, toys, training, and emergencies all cost money. Over a dog’s lifetime, this adds up.

Lifestyle changes
Your schedule has to include your dog—walking them even when it’s cold or raining, planning trips around pet care, and making sure they’re safe and happy at home.

Dogs can live 10–15 years (sometimes longer). Getting a dog means committing to care for them for their entire life, not just when it’s convenient.

In return, you get loyalty, companionship, joy, protection, and a friend who’s genuinely happy to see you every single day 🐶
