It is so easy when thinking about buying or even owning a dog to think you know exactly what good and responsible dog ownership really means. Some dog owners do and some don't so it's never a bad thing to remind ourselves about what this can entail. Can we improve the way we think when owning a dog? Probably the answer is yes, there's usually room for improvement in most things!

It is easy to underestimate how challenging and restrictive owning a dog can be whilst looking forward to all the positives, when we see those gorgeous little puppies  so it's wise to remember what it really takes to be a good dog owner.

So we hope this little guide may help even if there's one point you maybe haven't previously considered then that's great!

 At Yellow Dog UK we promote good and responsible dog ownership and we fully support the Blue Cross dog safety programme. There are some basic's that most good dog owners all follow and our little friends need every day...

Provide proper care & nutrition - always have fresh clean water , a balanced diet and necessary vet checks.
Provide a safe and comfortable living environment, not leaving your dog for long periods of time alone.
Provide regular exercise and stimulation
Provide socialization
Provide love &friendship
Provide grooming & good hygiene - nice showers or baths and brushing
Provide dog collar, tag or microchip so your dog can be found if lostAll Rights Reserved

Good Dog by books_are_my_tardis

"Hi, I'm looking for a dog." Mark told the lady at the counter of the animal shelter. "I'll show you our selection." The woman smiled kindly as she guided Mark to the back. Mark's eyes scanned the many good dogs, listening to their barks while feeling his heart break at the sight. He walked past many breeds such as German Shepherds, mutts, and evens few poodles before he eventually reached the end with no dog in mind that he wanted. Until a new one came in. "I found her abandoned in a home that the owners had moved out of awhile ago, and she put up a hell of a fight to stay and wait for the owners to return. She's really sick too, as well as dehydrated and malnourished." A man spoke in a rush as he barged in holding a lump of fur in his hands. Mark could see the dirty white-blonde fur on the dog slowly rise up and down with each breath it took, her large, sad chocolate brown eyes looking into Mark's own eyes with a mournful look that made Mark want to hug the puppy and never let go. She let out a whimper before she lowered her head and closed her eyes, making tears well up in Mark's eyes. "That's the dog I want." Mark decided aloud. "A-are you sure? We have plenty of other dogs-" "She's perfect." Mark interrupted. The man exchanged glances with the woman before gently handing the puppy over. "What's her name?" Mark asked softly as he watched the puppy lick his fingers with a small smile. "Sephora according to the rope the owners tied to her before leaving." The man stated as he pulled out a tattered piece of rope with her name burnt onto it. "Sephora...like the makeup. How about Chica?" Mark whispered to the puppy. Chica let out a soft yip as she curled into a tighter ball in Mark's hand. "Chica it is." Mark chuckled, delicately running a finger down her soft back. "You're a good dog." Mark told her as he walked towards the exit. "You'll always be my good dog." Mark promised her.

Rising Part 1 by FanfictionMe1998

Brian's life's been a mess-PTSD, dark thoughts, and just trying to make sense of all the crap he's been through. Then Jinx, this German Shepherd pup, shows up, all heart and ready to help. Trixie, his other dog, has always been there, and Jesse, his best friend, is the one person who hasn't given up on him. Training Jinx isn't easy, but it pulls something out of Brian-something he didn't even know he still had. Every struggle, every victory, makes him realize the journey itself is just as important as where it all leads. Through it all, Brian and Jinx prove that maybe the only way to heal is with the right people-and the right dogs-by your side.

But I'm Not Supposed To Be a Dog! by Zoe_Blessing

Abby has no idea what she's getting into when she adopts Henry from the local animal shelter. The dog is crazy smart. And a little creepy with how much he seems to understand. Henry is so confused. He remembers being a man, and doing manly things. Like buying socks. But here he is, covered in fur, and wagging an unfamiliar tail in this apartment belonging to a kind but scattered woman. What's a slobbering dog-man supposed to do? This is a story I wrote years ago, when a friend said, "You should write a story about a man who turns into a dog!" I said, "Uhh... okay." And then this story was born. I'm open to any and all feedback! Photo credit: This is my friend's actual dog, Kya.

Stray Master [MxM] by AnxiousCoffeeBoy

[Only on Galatea] Book Two of the Stray Sub Series Takes place two years after Stray Puppy. I recommend reading the first book if you like to be caught up with events, but it's probably not necessary. There's also gonna be some odd (to some at least, they seem fine to me) kinks in this book. It's up to you if you wanna chill or leave once they come up. ____ Knowing the end is only half the story, what's the beginning? The middle? The conflict? Don't you wonder how such a relationship began? Or what they were like before? After the long, torturous events they've been through, Tommy reflects on when he and his newly mutated dominant, Lewis, met. Remembering the first day, the ups and the downs of how they came to be when times were easier six years ago. Travel with Tom through jealousy, heartbreak, and misunderstandings. Follow the path they took to the end, to the peaceful home they made for themselves. ____ (All Rights Reserved)

The Alpha's Mates: Family is all you need by SmlAlwaysOriginal

Luke is back and the family is set to grow again. With kids in school and a toddler running around how was he going to balance it all. Then trouble comes and before he knows it he's sinking fast in responsibilities. How was he going to balance it. Would his mates be able to cope? Would his kids get the attention and care that they needed? What about the local pack, all the packs around the country, what about all his people around the world? Is it too much for one guy? Can he make mistakes, some not so little, and be forgiven? Will family turn out to really be all you need? I was just gathering up to head into town for a lunch I had planned with the local Tiger queen when I heard steps and Honey bounced into the room. She bounced over and kissed me deeply. My desire that kept getting stirred and then denied reacted instantly and I was crushing her in my arms. But I was once again forced to let go when the alarm on my phone went off telling me to leave for lunch. I gave an annoyed growl. "I take it you missed me?" Honey said taking a deep breath. "I hate when my mates have to leave. Add to that I have the hard on of a lifetime that has been teased three times in the last twenty four hours. I am gonna have to resort to taking it into my own hands if I can't finagle five minutes alone with a mate." "If you didn't have to run off to that lunch I'd kiss it, make it better." I groaned and kissed her again. "Each time I've gotten close a kid has interrupted. I love them but they need to go to their grandpa's for an hour or three."

Evolution by andshesmiles

There are a lot of things you don't really think about until they happen to you. Take rape, for instance. I always thought, "That won't happen to me. I have a boyfriend. I trust him. He would never take advantage of me like that..." I couldn't have been more wrong. Love in this day and age is often confused for manipulation and abuse. The warning signs are here. The things we say will tell us everything that is wrong. You are worth more than what you think you are. It's not your fault. If they tell you otherwise, get out. Burn the bridge. Always remember someone is waiting for you to walk into their life. Someone needs you. Someone loves you. Getting away from all of the wrong people and finding the right ones could save you. I can promise you right now that it saved me. These are the journal entries and selected poems from my first experience of love that left a unpleasant taste in my mouth- quite literally. I am putting this out for the whole world to see because I hope everyone will learn from my experience. People can see. We have no excuses to continue living our lives in ignorance. ...WARNING... HARMFUL THEMES INCLUDING MENTION OF SUICIDE, SELF HARM, AND RAPE. THIS HAS EXPLICIT CONTENT. RECOVERY AND AWARENESS IS THE PURPOSE OF SHARING. DO NOT READ IF THESE THEMES ARE OFFENSIVE OR HARMFUL TO YOU.

His Pet [BL] by morgansluvbot

Being in love with my brothers best friend wasn't exactly ideal growing up. It was no secret to anyone, not with the way he would teasingly pat my head and call me a good dog for constantly following them around. Now looking back on it, kneeling between his legs with a collar snuggly wrapped around my neck, this wasn't the worst outcome~ "Good boys deserve treats, don't they?" His fingers caught in my collar, playful smirk gracing his lips. No, this definitely wasn't the worst outcome. - this whole story is on dreame - paid content

Mistake by maddslhorn_x

Hey so I am writing this currently... some updates will be slower than others but I am trying my very hardest to make them as frequent as possible while making sure they are as good as I can make them. I hope you enjoy..... Sometimes a mistake can ruin someone. It can destroy their whole being and life. A mistake can simply mess everything someone knows. So a mistake is seen as bad. But sometimes, just sometimes they can be a good thing. Sometimes a mistake can lead to something you had never expected, had never thought would happen. Sometimes a mistake can lead to an unknown happiness. A mistake can make or break you. What will this mistake do?

Trapped In A Blocky Wonderland | Dream Team x Reader by FlammaLupum

Have you ever felt like you don't belong? Like this place you're in doesn't feel right? Like you should be somewhere else entirely? This isn't right... Are you supposed to be able to fell a tree with your fists? Are you supposed to be able to pick up little blocks in place of normal items? Are the dead supposed to rise and walk the lands? Is that tall, lanky monster with glowing purple eyes that teleports around normal? Is any of this normal? This just isn't right... Should I be here? Well, at least I'm not stuck here alone. With them... it feels less like a prison. They make this place more bearable. In a world that feels anything but normal, at least they can make me feel normal. If only until we figure out if we're really where we're meant to be. Or if we're meant to escape this blocky wonderland. Cover Art created by: @Harusimp MILESTONES!!! Feb 1st: 10K reads!
