In one sentence, what is your ideal pet personality? ____________________________________________________________________________________________________
Dogs/cats come with personalities. Puppies don't have set personalities till a bit older. So the adoptable adult or almost adult dog has traits, personality and training qualities that can be fitted or adjusted to the person. Most people go by looks, I have the ugliest dog with the best personality; he is just not a looker, but boyoboy can he be the best of anything. I get the oddest looks, he's skinny, raggy and just unattractive, thus he was hard to place, but I am so glad he stayed! You can't buy or train for such a perfect animal. Mugsy is a character, love and just an over the top ugly funny smart mutt of an animal. I adore him for that anything. So when choosing a dog, yes, we all love a look, but the surprise and future comes from within.
No. 1 Reason Cats
Owning a cat is better for the environment
Cats have less of a carbon footprint. They eat less in general and are more likely to eat fish than corn or beef flavored products. And enjoy being inside with the humans!

THE FIRST THREE HOURS ARE MOST IMPORTANT
When you pick up your new buddy, the first three hours should be time to establish a friendship and head of household. Leave the kids home. Spend quiet time, stop for a pup cone and grab a cup of coffee and snacks for both of you. Sit in the car, sit on a quiet bench and breathe. Your are the head of the family, you new bestie will sense this. No baby talk, no stories, no eye contact. Just be. Be an emperor, a boss, a mentor. Start with the correct, smart, quiet application of the next very important steps. Below, read every day for the first week and just be.
What is the 3-3-3 rule?
The 3-3-3 rule is a set of guidelines for the first three days, three weeks, and three months after adopting a new dog. The goal of the 3-3-3 rule is to help the dog adjust to their new environment and build a strong foundation for a long and happy life with their new family. Once you've found your new bestie, it's important to prepare for their arrival by following the 3-3-3 rule.
Why is the 3-3-3 rule important?
The 3-3-3 rule is important because it emphasizes the need for patience, consistency, and positive reinforcement when bringing home a newly adopted dog. Dogs are creatures of habit and routine, and they need time to adjust to new environments and build trust with their new family.
The first three days
it's important to give the dog plenty of space and time to acclimate to their new environment. And the most important: the first three hours! Play softly, quietly and watch tv! They may exhibit behaviors such as fear, nervousness, or confusion as they adjust to new sights, smells, and sounds. Some dogs may be hesitant to eat, drink, or play during this time. It's important to give them plenty of space and time to acclimate to their new environment. Keep them in a quiet, comfortable room with their bed, food, water, and toys. Limit their exposure to other pets, family members, and visitors so they don't get overwhelmed. This time is called decompression.
During this time, take your new dog outside for potty breaks on a leash, but don't overwhelm them with long walks or trips to the park. This is a time for them to explore and get comfortable in their new surroundings at home.
The First Three Weeks
After the first three days, gradually introduce your new dog to other family members and pets. Keep their routines consistent and give them plenty of positive reinforcement for good behavior. Use treats, praise, and toys to reward them for following commands and exhibiting good behavior.
Start introducing them to new environments, such as walks in the neighborhood or trips to the park. But be mindful of their comfort level and keep them on a leash until you're confident they won't run off or get scared.
The First Three Months
By the end of the first three weeks, your new dog should be comfortable with their new home and family members. During the next three months, continue to reinforce positive behavior and gradually increase their exposure to new experiences.
Consider enrolling them in obedience classes or training sessions to help them develop good habits and build confidence. This is also a good time to establish a routine for exercise, playtime, and training. I like to wait till they are five months or so.
Be patient with your new dog and continue to provide plenty of love and positive reinforcement. By the end of the first three months, your new dog should be fully adjusted to their new home and routines. However, it's important to remember that every dog is unique, and some may take longer to adjust than others. By following the 3-3-3 rule, you're setting your new dog up for success and laying the foundation for a long and happy life together. You'll also be able to identify any behavioral issues early on and address them before they become bigger problems.
###Remember: never play in the house! first three weeks/ walk to potty A LOT and party when they potty, if potty in wrong spot, cleanup with vinegar and place soiled napkin where she needs to go! Always clean up after she is trained; leave a little behind to remind her till she gets it right all the time! People food is ok in small quantities. A tasting is fine. Spray vanilla/or something cool on your pups toys, so they leave your stuff alone! Show them what's good to play with, which smells are associated with what they can have.
First thing to teach is to come to you. Better than sit or stay or lay. Come to me will be your best friend ever.
