It’s easy to fall in love with the energy of a puppy, but the youthfulness comes with challenges such as house and obedience training and teething. For those looking for a companion, who do not want to or cannot take the time to train a younger dog, a senior dog can be a good option.
Usually the last to be adopted at the shelters, senior dogs offer their own unique convenience. They have already developed their personality, unlike the puppy who is still learning about themselves. In most cases, they are already trained, so there is no need to puppy-proof the house when you bring home your new elder friend.
If you lead a busy life and do not have the chance to train a puppy, adopting a senior pet can be your answer. Requiring the basic necessities, senior dogs do not need to be monitored at all times like their younger counterparts. Spending most of the day lounging, the elderly dog can a faithful companion without getting in trouble.
