Evaluate and match your energy level with the dog 

Most probably, people adopt a dog based on its look rather than based on their nature/behavior. Even we committed the same mistake. We wanted a family dog and so we narrowed down our search to German Shepherd breed. But, my sister picked the puppy who was full of energy and very active and when we bought that puppy home it was a nightmare to train that puppy. It was just impossible for any of us to match his energy levels. We felt many times that we did the mistake of bringing that puppy home. So, it’s extremely important to assess your own energy level first. If you are the kind of person who loves to wake up early morning and go for jogging then you should select a high energy dog. As energy conflicts can develop behavior issues.
