Hello,
Our family is getting our first ever dog, a black standard poodle, who will be coming home at the end of October. I'm trying to read and learn as much as I can to help prepare us for our new family member.
We live in upstate NY and have 4 children between the ages of 5 and 13. I do not work outside of the home, so I'll be the one around with our new pup for much of the day, as well as taking on most of the training tasks, while my husband is at work and the kids are at school.
I already have a lot of questions and look forward to learning from those of you with more experience! I've always loved animals, my kids love dogs and I'm both excited and nervous to make the change to a dog family.
