Rescue Dog Training: Priorities For Your First Week Together #255

Visit us at shapedbydog.com   There are a lot of rescue dogs out there. And bravo for those of you who are opening up your homes and adopting them. In this episode, I'm doing a deep dive into the emotions of rescue dogs, and the priorities I have when I bring a rescue dog into my home. This episode is for everybody, regardless of whether you have a rescue or not. I'm sharing the thought process I go through when evaluating all of my dogs, my training, and the next step I need to take with any dog.   In this episode you’ll hear:   • The importance of training the dog in front of you.  • Why we should eliminate judgment or preconceived notions. • Why safety is important for you, your family, and the dog. • How to create an environment of great success for the dog. • Conditioning and shaping behaviors to build a strong bond. • The role of location specific reinforcement markers (words), tools, places, and conditioning in training. • Confidence-building games you can play with the dog. • A special discount for Susan Garrett's Home School The Dog program.   Home School the Dog: Write to us at wag@dogsthat.com with the subject line "My Dog is Home for Life" for a very special opportunity to join us in Home School the Dog.
