The all to common statement that applies to almost all walks life “I don’t have time”. Do you have time to be a pet owner? Then on the other hand how much time does it take to give a dog the time it needs? Anyone who has successfully trained a pet before knows consistency and frequency are much more important than length of time. This by no means understates the importance of spending time with your animals, after all isn’t that why we got that cute puppy to spend time enjoying each other? If life does get busy and you only have 5 minutes I assure you any time is better than no time, but don’t make a habit of putting your pet on the back burner. Instead find ways to include your pet and spend time doing things the whole family can enjoy. Dogs and all animals do need loved, and enjoy spending time with their family. So next time you only have a few minutes take advantage of them, then figure a way out to make more time in the future. You may be surprised how much fun and relaxation you can have by spending a little time with a “mans best friend”.
