Rescue Dog Success

04/13/2024

For those of you who rescued dogs, please let me know what the biggest problems were integrating the rescue dog into your household. Also please let me know how old the dog was at time of rescue. This will help me decide what materials to cover in the educational materials I'm preparing to help people rescue successfully.

Many rescues don't talk to adopters about the importance of training to help rescue dogs fit in with their adoptive families. The training should cover basic cues/commands like come, stay and leave it as well as not leash pulling. But also very important is to help new owners discover the best games to play, how to avoid resource guarding and what things dogs find frightening or threatening. This basic work of mutual understanding may keep a lot of dogs in their adoptive homes

I have come down with something and will be spending Christmas in bed and taking care of the dogs and my dear parrot.
I wish you all a wonderful Christmas and thank you for spreading much more cheer than we've been seeing in the world lately.
Have a holiday filled with love and hope.
