Aside from the basic needs food, water and a place to live. A dog needs and craves structure and companionship. When taking a dog into your home you need to be prepared to spend time with the dog excersing and playing with the dog. Makes sure the dog has toys to play with when you are not available. A happy dogs is a well trained dog. Take the time to teach your dog the basics obedience commands. After mastering these you can move onto the cute tricks. But make sure first to teach basic obedience first.

If you are dog lover... it won't be difficult at all. Sometimes it's hard to go out for walks when you're really tired or it's dreary outside. But the dog will always want one. Don't feel bad if you don't give the dog 2 or 3 walks everyday. I walk my dog once a day, a pretty long walk if it is nice out. Smaller dogs like you are talking about don't require a ton of food like bigger dogs do, obviously. The only thing our family runs into is getting someone to take care of ours when we go out of town. Luckily, I have a friend that will let her out and walk her. Boarding can get expensive. Honestly, if you love your dog, taking care of it will be a breeze.

I think the most important thing is emotional care. I've seen peopel who give all the care they can to their dog, they feed it best food, they take dog to get cool hair cuts, they buy dogs cool toys, but they don't give the dog their love. Animls need love just like people do. Dogs are like children, you can buy all the thinks for a child, but if you are not spending time with a child and if you are not showing love and effection, what good is all those expensive things?

After those basic physical needs, I think the most important thing is to show the dog that you love them. My dogs crave attention, and I just love playing with them and just spending time with them. They are such loyal creatures and provide a great joy as well as a stress relief.

THAT IS A LOADED QUESTION. The most common things r Water, good housing, a good place to sleep if you want them to be a watchdog in the open areas, if u want them to be more quiet a secluded area. Nutrition, a good dog food, this will not only benefit your dog, when you pick up after them a good food will leave less to pick up after . A secure area for your pet when u r gone from the home when they r alone, some people like to leave their dog out in a penned area outside that way when someone comes the dog will let everyone know. Exersize a good walk likely everyday, training - obediance, not just pretend training real training where the dog really listens to the owner when they r told , this way u can trust your dog on or off leash. Like I said this is a loaded question, I still can go on for hours. REMEMBER ALWAYS LUV/ CARE FOR YOUR DOG/ PET, THEY WILL ALWAYS LUV U..
