We’re looking to adopt a rescue dog in the next year or so (we have a 3 year old so may have to wait longer as a lot of rescues locally understandably only rehome to houses with kids over 5, unless their history is well known)
We haven’t owned a dog before and want to go into this as prepared as possible. Do you have any advice on where to get started - choosing the right dog for our family, introducing the kids and dog, training, etc.
We’re out any about most days, but not walking long distances at present due to the kids ages. There are a couple of days a week the dog would be home alone during the day with my partner popping home for some company and a walk at lunch.
