Is this your first dog?

Do you have other pets?

Do you have children?

What should you consider before bringing home a dog?

Should you get a puppy or an adult?

Should you get a purebred or crossbred?

Where should you get your dog?

How do you choose a breeder or a rescue group to work with?

Is adopting a special needs dog the right choice for you?

What supplies should you have on hand?

What services should you investigate before getting a dog?

Is this really the best time in your life for a dog?

So many questions to consider! Am I Ready for A(nother) Puppy or Dog? is a short book designed to help guide you through this process. What do you need to consider from the perspective of a dog trainer who also has a background in rescue and with various dog clubs. Learn from the successes and mistakes of others so you can make the best possible choice for your life and that of the dog.
