Please don't!! They charge 3x more for their dogs than they should and breed them 30x more than they should while caging them for their whole lives while malnourishing them and basically abusing them. Please don't!!
Harley spent 10 years living in a small cage in a puppy mill. Close to death, he was rescued 3 years ago and found a loving home where he continues to heal, both physically and emotionally. Harley is now a spokesdog against puppy mills and has his own campaign, "Harley to the Rescue", saving dogs from mills. He is a magical little guy and can even talk! Harley is loved beyond measure.

Patience and persistence. Don't push the pup too hard. They get mental fatigue while training. Reward for good things, and not always treats. Praise is great. Building confidence is key.
We rescued a 2 year old female greyhound and it took 4 very long 4 months to get her through basic commands and comfortable being in a home. There were times I didn't think I would have the patience. However, at 4 months it was like a light bulb went on and she took hold of everything.
We also did the basic training course at PetsMart. Helped all of us to at least get started, then worked on things everyday.
Have fun, it's pretty awesome.

I know they do have a larger percentage of older animals but if you google your city name and "animal shelter" you will probably find a site with a few puppies.

That's not true at all. Shelters are slam full of newborn puppies right now. It's that season...they're killing 20-30 a day here sometimes because it's puppy season. Plus, puppies aren't for everyone...
I can even get a dog transported to you almost anywhere from the shelter here also. The networking is amazing these days. Folks that run puppy mills, and stores like Petland make our battle so much harder than it should be...
having my first issue...
He refuses to eat out of a bowl... He has ate nothing all day.. I kept taking him to his food. he'll drink but wont eat...
I put a couple in my hand, wouldnt eat, drop it on the floor and he ate it up... put a bunch on the floor. he ate it all, then whined and looked for more. I tried a plate....
