If you want to train a dog well, you need a lot of patience.
At the same time, having a dog is a lot of fun in life.
It is easier for beginners among dog owners if the four-legged friend is cheerful, has a strong personality and is able to learn.
Have you never had a dog before?
Then a four-legged friend with a friendly and balanced character suits you best.
The dog breeds Havanese, Maltese and Golden Retriever are considered to be particularly uncomplicated.
Just like the Bernese Mountain Dog.
Above all, training should be a little easier for you with an uncomplicated dog.
It could also be that you would like to take your dog with you to friends, to a restaurant or to the office.
Even then, you should be able to rely on the fact that he – with the appropriate training – will be happy to accompany you everywhere without, for example, behaving aggressively towards other dogs.
Incidentally, beginners are advised not to use dogs with a pronounced hunting instinct, such as the dachshund or the Jack Russel Terrier.
Of course, hunting dogs can also be loyal souls, but if they are not well trained, walking them off the leash can often be a challenge.
Overall, when choosing a dog, you should pay close attention to the character of the animal.
Even with puppies from one and the same litter, you sometimes notice that one dog is rather shy and reserved, while the other is particularly trusting and playful.
So take a good look beforehand to see which dog suits you best.
Important: Find out well about the conditions of the breeder and how the dog is socialized.
You should definitely allow yourself enough time to make the decision.
