Should you get a puppy for the holidays?

The holidays are here and we celebrate by being with friends, families and gift giving.   What you might assume to make this holiday event even more spectacular is a cute little puppy in our pictures?   Sounds like a scene from a lifetime movie.   The reality is that unless you have few guests and events you will not have enough time to devote to a new puppy to get situated in his or her new home.

A new puppy needs your full attention to become a good dog later.  The longer you wait to train the harder it is to break any bad habits.   If you had your full attention devoted to the puppy you can start right away on potty training, getting use to his or her bed and obeying your commands.   If you do not pay attention to this right away your puppy will create his or her own rules which could result in chaos in your household. 

Picking up poop during your holiday party or ripped up Christmas presents does not sound fun at all.
