another dog-related question

Posted by Psychopoppy on December 7, 2003, at 2:43:19

I have never had a dog except from the age of 1 to 3 (which i dont even remember). I am a fully grown adult now (almost 30....yikes !!!) and have always loved and adored dogs and have always wanted one. Soon my hubby and I might be in a position to actually get one but I am so afraid that i wont know what to do about things like... how to know when your doggy is sick, how to make him obey me and how to make sure that he wont bite me in anger one day and how do dog-owners just stick their hands in their dogs mouth to get something out, how to read a dog's personality at the SPCA when adopting ......
I am really afraid that i wont make a very strong dog-owner. I know i'll love my doggy to death but what does it take to be loving and yet also the authority figure..ie. the boss ?
I have no experience with pets at all so it really scares me but I really really want a dog...
any advice doggy people ?
