Very well put Celebrim 
I agree with the fact that training a pet to a "animal companion" tier of value, will take a long time, and that is why my characters either start with them, or dont bother. Also as I stated in my last comment, I was thinking spesificly of "police/guard dogs" that are trained since birth, or simply household pets (again since birth). Again with both these examples, the pet would only be loyal to the one who trained it, not some random guy who purchased it, meaning you would have to purchase it as a puppy and spend A LOT of downtime training it (or start with one, and say its been with you since before you were an adventurer)
I would also like to point out that I was never thinking of 10 dogs, and never said that either. I was spesificly thinking of one single dog, that has been with you for years.
