 We met each other in India. We love at first sight. We had our daughter Rachel. Oh, yeah. That's the best part of our life. Ever since she started speaking, she has been asking, can we have a dog? Right now, our daughter goes to a private school. From this year, she's going to go to public school. So our household budget is going to change. The extra money that we're going to get in will cover for the dog expenses. Painting a dog in India is much different than United States of America. I want to get to know our first-hand experience. What are the things we need to know before we bring our puppy home? My name is Andrea Arden. I have been an animal behavior expert for the last 25 years. I'm excited to meet Narita and Kinshuk because I love it that people are seeking out somebody's help who's an expert in a field to make a decision that's such an important one that's such a long-term decision. What are some of the things that you're considering or looking for in a dog for your family? Very active and very kid-friendly and has good temperament. This sounds like a good start. Let's talk about what goes into taking care of a dog. Are you guys considering a puppy? Usually it's our only child and we don't want to have another child. So the main idea is having a dog is to grow with her. No, that's great. To have a little best buddy for the next 10, 15 years. Puppies in particular need even more effort when it comes to training. Have you guys thought about that? Yeah, so those are the concepts we have. What are the things we should know before bringing the puppy home? Part of the reason I don't want people to impulsively bring a dog into their family is because I very much worry that they haven't taken the time to really think about what the financial obligations will be. The biggest expense when you get a puppy is veterinary care. So pet insurance is a way of being able to give yourself sort of this sense of relief that you know that those things that are foreseeable expenses with a dog but also those things that maybe you didn't expect like emergency care. Alternate years, we tend to go to in years. Yeah, two or three weeks, right. Any recommendation on that? I think it's really advisable when you're raising a puppy that is calm, cool and collected when they're separated from you. Certainly there are lots of boarding kennel situations that you can find. If you know that every year you go away for two to three weeks you need to also keep in mind to budget for that. When we met Andrea she emphasized on the importance of training because only if she is well behaved will be well accepted across everyone. And the important thing is it has to be healthy and kid friendly. So you guys have had some time to think on all the options that are out there for you guys in regards to welcoming a dog to your family. Where are you guys now? We are kind of narrowed down, yes we have narrowed down. It can be a long process but I think what's at the end of that process is really fun which is all about putting in all this effort to raise a dog, to teach a dog, to make sure that you help them become the best dog they can be so that they're with your family and they're happy and you're happy for a long time to come. Our next step will be like doing some more research on the insurance and the vet charges and then I think we are almost there. Six months from now, yes, there will be a dog. There will be a dog in the house for sure.
