It’s a great lesson in responsibility, compassion, and patience.
While you should go into the challenge of raising a puppy with these character traits in mind, having a dog is guaranteed to develop and finetune them. You’ll need to work with your puppy through housebreaking, basic training, and social manners, and in order to do it successfully, you’ll need to be patient and gentle with your still-learning puppy, traits that will bleed into your interactions with other people. And you’ll quickly learn that dogs will bring out the best in you because they only see the best in you. For the families with children, assigning tasks to them like brushing and walking the puppy under your supervision helps build their sense of duty and responsibility as well.

You’ll be more active - socially and physically.
With Rufus comes responsibility, and that includes taking your puppy out for stimulating walks and frequent socialization. This is bound to get you out of bed and on the streets, and their endless energy will keep you active and on your toes for years to come. While they shouldn’t be your running partner until around 6-12 months of age (growing bones!), they’ll still demand your physical participation to tire them out. Plus, dogs are great conversation starters, and leaving the house with your puppy means you’ll have the opportunity to meet more people. Try taking your dog out to the park or on some errands and see how many people are more than willing to strike up a chat about your dog.

They’re good for your health.
While you might feel your chest tightening at the sight of another puddle of pee on the floor, dogs are good for human health in the long term. Studies have shown that children raised around puppies have a reduced chance of developing allergies and eczema due to early allergen exposure to build their immunity. Plus, the presence of a dog has been associated with lower blood pressure and reduced risk for cardiovascular issues, not to mention the physical activity required to care for a dog does indeed qualify as exercise. In short, having a dog in your home may mean fewer health problems for you.

They’re a good backup security system.
It’s common sense that your home is less likely to be a victim of burglary if a dog is present, whether it’s a small but loud Chihuahua or a large and imposing German Shepherd. Bark or bite, dogs will make any home invader think twice about breaking in when a dog is yelling at them from outside. Your puppy’s stellar sense of hearing, judge of character, and yes, strong vocal cords, will almost certainly help you sleep better at night. If you’re concerned about the safety of your home, dogs coincidentally serve as an excellent home security system, too.

The decision to get a dog is a big one, and not one that should be taken lightly. While these are some compelling reasons to open to your heart and your home to a puppy near Miami Florida, make sure that you are prepared to handle the responsibility that comes with it!
