Adopting
When you first adopt a new dog make sure to avoid the too much, too soon syndrome. Remember they are adapting to changes in their life and it can be very stressful for them. Not allowing adequate time for them to adjust to your routine may set them up for failure should they react negatively in someway to how extremely stressed and anxious they are. Take your time to allow them to bond with you and trust you first. Once you have gotten to know them, you can start doing some of the fun things that you always dreamed of doing with your new pal!
