How will you choose?

As expert dog trainers with 25 years of experience, we understand that selecting the right dog breed for your home environment is crucial. When families choose a breed that doesn’t align with their lifestyle, it can lead to significant challenges. These mismatches may result in behavioral issues, increased stress for both the dog and family, and ultimately, the unfortunate necessity of rehoming the dog.

Our mission is to reduce the number of dogs being rehomed by making the breed matching process as personalized and informed as possible. We are committed to ensuring that every family finds a dog that suits their living situation and lifestyle, leading to a fulfilling and joyful companionship that lasts a lifetime.

Compatibility

Certain dog breeds may not adapt well to common family lifestyles due to their unique characteristics and needs. For instance, cattle dogs, known for their high energy levels and herding instincts, may struggle to thrive in an apartment setting, especially in households with small children and frequent visitors. Their natural drive to herd can lead to excitement and potential behavioral issues if not properly channeled through ample exercise and mental stimulation. Similarly, Siberian Huskies, while friendly and affectionate, are notorious for their need for space to run and play, often making apartment living challenging. Their strong prey drive and vocalization tendencies can disrupt a harmonious home environment, particularly in close quarters with neighbors. Understanding each breed's specific traits is crucial for ensuring a happy and balanced home for both dogs and their families.

Finally, remember that breed characteristics are a general guide. Mixed breeds offer their own unique combination of traits that may suit your lifestyle perfectly. Temperament testing, discussed later in this guide, will provide more detailed insight into a dog's individual personality, beyond just their breed.

Matching a dog’s natural instincts to your lifestyle can set the tone for a happy relationship.
