The first thing I plan to do after I get my own apartment is get a dog. I still haven’t decided if I want to get a puppy or an adult dog from a shelter. Right now getting an adult dog from a shelter (that has some training already) sounds like the better option as I don't know that I'll have time for Puppy Training. Either way this post has good advice I'll remember for when I get my dog.
