Surely many of us dream of owning a dog, but there are many obstacles, especially the limited time fund. Obviously, the dedicated owner must invest no less time than effort and money like this plan. So what kind of dog should a busy person choose to raise so that he does not need to go to the kitchen to prepare food, or take them for a walk?
There is no breed of dog that can live in your family, obey the rules of eating and going to the toilet without help. However, there are some breeds of dogs that do well without too much attention or care. And even if you adopt two children, you will win the title of “responsible owner”.
Criteria for breeding dog breeds for busy people
Some of the following important factors should be considered before embarking on choosing your soulmate.
Exercise: A dog’s instinct is to move. They are different from cats, which can lie to sleep or stay around for 24 hours. Choosing a breed that is sedentary, sleepy, or gentle is key.
Training: You certainly don’t want a dog that is so wild that you cannot control. Choose smart breeds that quickly understand the basic requirements of their owners.
Care: Hair, nail and dental hygiene will be part of your “Weekly Schedule”. Nails and teeth are two factors that are similar between different breeds of dogs. So, choose one with a simple coat, or a truncate to reduce the workload.
Health care: Even the healthiest dogs need to see a veterinarian once or twice a year for checkups. Dogs with good stomachs, less allergies or digestive problems, will be more resistant. This will save you time seeing the vet except for routine checkups.
First, avoid choosing this breed
First of all, you should not adopt dogs with too much energy because they always need activities such as running, chasing or biting. Living with a busy person, receiving little attention will make them more likely to develop depression.

In addition, too smart dogs will also have problems in your own house. They feel your concern, your limited care, easily sad and frustrated. The friendship gap between the two is at risk of cracking because this dog will adapt itself to an extremely independent lifestyle.
Age is also a factor for you to decide when to adopt a dog. Puppies, especially under 16 weeks of age, have an immense amount of energy and curiosity. They are always running, learning, exploring the world around them. At 6 months old, puppies rarely follow the rules given as a child. They are extremely interested in challenging activities such as mock battles, chasing.
Therefore, you should choose dogs in a more mature age like 2 or 3 years old. Just as a child begins to mature, every action is weighed against the experiences learned as a child. In particular, adult dogs are always conscious to obey the rules you set.
