Why You Should Get A Dog
There is no need to sit around moping about your life. What's wrong? Got no friends? Out of shape? Nobody loves you? What you need is a dog. A dog will help you with each of the above problems and in no time, you'll be wondering how you could have spent all those years dog-free. So, just how can Rover fix your life? Let's examine the possibilities of injecting some canine company into your problematic situations.
Your first problem is that you have no friends. Did you know that research shows people are thirty percent more likely to initiate a conversation with a dog walker than a non dog walker? Think of the possibilities. All you have to do is hit the streets with your pooch and wait for the socialization to begin. The most common question is, 'What kind of dog is that?' This enquiry is closely rivalled by, 'How old is he?' and 'Where did you get him?' These conversation starters will soon have you well known around the neighbourhood. You now have Rover to thank for getting friends for you!
Your dog can help you get into shape. You can forget the torture of weight loss diets if you can embrace the idea of exploring every park and ravine in your neighbourhood with your furry companion. Your fat loss solution lies in cross country rambles with your hairy friend. Don't even think about trying to get all your fitness equipment back from your friends and family. It is much more fun to go out and run with your dog than it is to try and recover ancient treadmills.
If it is respect you want look no further than a dog rescued from the pound or picked out from a breeder's brood. Dogs do not wait and size you up with a critical eye. Once they recognize you as their master, they just assume that everything you do is top notch. While people may have reservations about you or your abilities, your dog will assume that if it has to do with you, it is perfect. You cannot get better respect than that.
However there are sometimes questions from people who claim to have had bad dog experiences. If you are renting, the owner of your property may fear that your dog will destroy his investment. Family members may cite the food and vet costs as being beyond your budget. You will need to defend your decision to become a dog owner to these people. You will need to convince them that your dog is going to have a positive impact on your life. If they care for you, they may soon come around to your way of thinking. A good way to settle objectors down is to promise to take your dog to Obedience Training classes.
Tell your detractors that you will train your dog to be an ideal pet and family member. Show them that you mean business and be a shining example of dog ownership. Take him to a formal class setting, run by experts, and learn the tricks of having a well behaved, polite dog.
Try dog ownership to help you with your troubles. You may soon find it impossible to imagine how you managed without your shaggy tail-wagging friend.
