How to choosie my new puppy? How to choosie the right dog for me?

Everyday or every minute there is a new dog being born, or a new dog being brought to the shelter!!!! For shelter dogs it's a sad experiance, and most dogs don't leave the shelter, some get put down, please rescue a dog rather then getting a puppy, but it has to fit you, please contact a behavior consultant inorder to know what's right for you!!!!!!!!  

How to choosie your dog when your adopting, or how to choosie the right puppy for you!!!! Everything is all upon how your day is!!! What type of energy you have!!!! If you have kids!!! Or expecting a child!!!!! If you live by yourself, or with someone!! All these are big factors into getting a new dog..... 

Puppy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
When choosing a puppy is a beautiful thing when you get the must cuddly thing, but remember puppies grow up, and everything must be right when having a puppy, everything from puppy training, socializing with other dogs or humans, 
When going to see puppies and are plaining to get one, make sure of two things
1) make sure you study the breed!!! Make sure you research the breeder
2) make sure you take close looks at all the puppies there(the reason will come in a few seconds) 

Now the right puppy always is the one playing with all the dogs and running with so much energy!!!!!! Wrong each puppy has it's own energy, if your a runner and is very active.. You choosie the playful dog, doesn't mean the runt of the litter is the energic, 
If your looking for a calm dog in the future, you pick the one minding it's business, the one looking at all of them playing, that dog will show leadership!!! That dog will be a calm dog in the future!!!!! (the believeing that a dogs energy starts to wear down with age is a lie, a fairytale,!!!! A myth.... Most dogs with age get more and more energy, so make sure your study your breed) 
When training your puppy, you start with puppy classes and make sure you work at home with all your homework,

Adopting the right dog!!!!!! 

I strongly suggest when choosing a dog from the shelter, you get as much history as you can, most or if not all shelters get owner surrenders, or get the dogs that were romming the streets.... Look at the rescue orginization websites, most of the dogs are as well in foster homes, most times dogs in foster home are closely monitored, and know to whom the dogs should go to(meaning what type of home the dog can go to). If your going to a shelter to adopt a dog here are some steps to make sure your choosing the right dog for you and your family
Walk through the whole shelter and take a closer look at all the dogs that are good for adoption!!!!! Not all evaluations are accurate, I do suggest to have a behaviorist join you in assisting the right dog to choosie... 
All dogs are nervious when they are in the shelter, but you go to the cage and just let them sniff you(please don't put your hands inside the cage), at times they will bark cause they are excited, so if you feel that it is the right dog, ask for assistance into taking the dog out to the back and have the dog run around with you to get a good feel for the dog, now all times they will not listen for the first 5-10 mins that's normal, let the dog burn as much as it can before interacting with the dog
Now most dogs are nervious when coming out and crouch to a corner, now something to remember, when a person is a bit scared or nervious, you don't reach to touch them, you talk and let them come to you, same with a dog, the mind set of a dog is I don't know you I don't trust you, dogs don't have a train of thought, they just act unless trained to obey commands... Now best thing you can do for that situation is let the dog come to you, have a good smelly treat with you and have pactients..... Most dogs that are shy in the shelter are wonderful dogs when they get to know you, and trust you. Now once adopting a dog make sure you get to know your new dog, take long walks with your dog, play with your dog.. It takes about 2 weeks for a adopted dog to really get settled in, once two weeks is up time to get to work, start with obidience classes, then move on from there... It's very important for the dog to know your voice, and know what you want...
With a puppy, the minute you start training is when the puppy has all it's shots, and is walking outside, but time for wee-wee pad training is always a must, how you start, once the puppy pees and poo in a curtin place command by saying good pee or good poo, prasie and the reason for this, that way the pup knows it did good and won't be afraid to go outside, or on the pads, as well the pup will know command for it, so it's a start to develope the mind.... 

Excersie is very important or everydog, just cause you have a back yard doesn't mean that's it's excersie, no no that's being lazy, get a leash and walk your dog, giving it a challage everyday and walking for 45 mins is a good start to the morning for every dog, 3-4 times a day a dog should be walked,
