Owning a pet has it's challenges, but owning a shelter dog is a unique experience. Many of these dogs have been abused or abandoned and are untrusting and skittish. That doesn't mean that shelter dogs aren't good pets, they are wonderful pets. It just means that you will need to be a little more patient during your training sessions.
Shelter dogs are wonderful dogs and they make great pets. They did not asked to be dumped or surrendered at a shelter. For whatever reason they are there looking for their forever home, and you can provide that. It just takes patience and practice.
Not all shelter dogs are challenging. Occasionally you will come across one that is completely trained, housebroken, and happy. Then you can adjust a little quicker than shelter dogs that are a little more challenging.
