I really want to get a dog. But with the way this career is taking me, not sure if I should. I’m single, live alone and just got a 100% remote job. Is now the time? Or is it irresponsible given I may have to move back to an office job in the future. Consulting dog owners, how do y’all make it work?

If it’s 100% remote then DO IT!! Especially so you can be with him/her whne he’s a puppy or new rescue:)

-Take a week off when you get your pup. You will need to get them into a schedule. It’s like having a baby.
- Research everything and purchase a book “what should I know about being a first time dog owner”
- if you go to the office, consider hiring a dog Walker for mid day and/or doggy day care so your dog doesn’t get lonely/depressed when you’re gone

A dog lives a long time. If you can’t commit to prioritizing taking care of the dog for 10-15 years, it’s and absolutely terrible idea.

Don’t.

If you’re not 100% sure, try fostering first and see how it goes. It’s sad for the dog to be adopted and then to be given back to a shelter

I did not get a dog until my partner moved in and would be home every night to care for the dog when I was gone. before that I volunteered at a shelter walking dogs and temp fostering over holidays. It was great and low commitment

Thanks for the the encouragement. Ideally want to adopt. Any good breeds which are easy to train
, groom and good for apartment living?

Do not get hunting dog. They are so easily distracted by new scents. Will stop to sniff everything and anything on walks. Very inconvenient when you’re on a time budget

It’s easier than it seems. There’s a reason dogs have become so prevalent and that’s because they’re easy to take care of

I’m considering adopting a dog as well. First thing to read about is the characteristics of each dog breed and see which type suits you. And there are a number of quizzes online you can take which will tell you the type of dog that may suit your lifestyle.
