Ask HN: Advice for first-time dog owners?
5 by ndanmand | 1 comments on Hacker News.
Dear all, I am an academic, looking to adopt a dog. My girlfriend and I (mid 30's) are seriously considering adopting a dog (8 weeks old); Preferably a Bernese Mountain Dog or Golden Retriever. We both come from families with dogs. However, taking responsibility for a dog will be a first-timer for the both of us. We want to develop the necessary skills for training a family dog. I tend to study rather intensively when entering new fields (whether work or hobby). However, it feels like much dog-advice and books are based on assumptions and individuals' bits of advice, rather than broadly credited theories? I was hoping that the HN community - which I do appreciate very much - can suggest resources that inspired/inspires you for training (and living with) a "good boy/girl"?
