A helpful guide for anyone adopting/rescuing this year ( or has done so recently)
πΎ The 3-3-3 Rule πΎ
When it comes to adopting a dog, have you heard of the 3-3-3 rule? Itβs a set of guidelines for the first three days, three weeks and three months following adoption, and highlights the need to be patient, consistent and apply lots of positive reinforcement, to help your newly adopted furry friend adjust to their new environment and home. π‘
Dogs love routine as they are creatures of habit, and they need time to get used to their new life and build trust with their new family. πΆ
Although each dog is unique and will adjust differently, by keeping the 3-3-3 rule in mind it can help you to build a strong foundation with your dog, for a long and happy life together.
