ok with all animals you need money time for your pet time for you training loyalty love.
if your traveling alot who will look after your dog will you be home how many hours a day will you be home ect.
what sort of dog you want that will suit you.
i think you know the answer to your question and i hope it works out well for you.

First off, nobody knows if they’re going to be good owners or not, so just go with the flow, it will all come naturally. If you travel last minute it is probably not good to get a puppy, unless you can get some trustworthy people to take care of it in the time you are gone. Everyone’s ready for a puppy just as long as they’ll take care of it and love it.
By the way, puppies are sort of hyper, just make sure you have all of the supplies to take care of it like puppy pads, food bowl,water bowl, food, a bed, and make sure they have their shots.

yes, a young adult smaller dog you could maybe bring with you to travels?
do u hav a spouse who could care for it when ur not home?
only if you think your ready and hav the money and love to giv u shld get one.
good luck =]

taking care of a puppy requires a lot of care, attention, and money. you will always need to be fragile with your dog and know the responsibilities. are you a busy woman? are you willing to be there for this puppy always? ask yourself a couple of questions. have you had a dog before? remember owning a puppie means having it not be pottie trained. try taking care of a trusted person’s dog for a while and see how it feels for you. if you can handle a dog, know that it will be harder to take care of a puppy. good luck.

To be honest, if you are in the middle of building a career and like to travel at the last minute, you should wait until you are more settled in and are in one place and have a more stable schedule.

Puppies are wonderful, I know, mine is, LOL, but the first puppy I had, I didn’t have the time nor the patience to work w/ him to potty train, play w/ etc. I ended up having to find him a home. After, I got a few more years down and a good schedule I got another one.

I crate trained him, that’s when you leave them in their bed (crate) when you aren’t watching them and playing w/ them and take them out several times a day to potty outside until they can let you know by barking or whining that they need to go.

Most puppies don’t like to mess in their beds so the crate training is fairly effective if you have the time to take him/her out to potty frequently until they get the hang of what you are wanting them to do. When they do potty, they always should get a small treat while in training. Mine loves to go potty and then come in and beg for his treat automatically, but anyways, back to your question.

I think it would be unfair to both you and the puppy if you got one now and wasn’t ready/able to invest the time and effort it takes to build a trusting relationship w/ one and to potty train it so you both can get the best out of your “puppy love”.

Also, when/if you decide to you should think about what size dog it will be when it is an adult dog, how much exercise it will need, what food expense, vaccinations, etc. will cost you and if you can afford them because all dogs need these (as well as flea and tick treatments and heartworm meds each month) to stay healthy and live long lives.

Traveling alot on the spur of the moment can run into alot of “babysitting” money if you don’t have someone who is willing to keep your puppy for free, and it also leads to alot of anxiety for your puppy due to the seperation from you.

Hope this helps!!

i’m glad with your added details that you realized that you probably aren’t ready and admitted that. the one key way to know if you’re ready, is to not have any doubts about it. if you are questioning if you are ready, then there is a good chance that you aren’t. if you really want a puppy, volunteer with the dogs at a shelter or help out a friend with their dog and then you won’t have to worry about not giving your own puppy enough attention!
