Rescue Dogs and their behaviour

Some dogs have been mistreated, at best they have just been confused. Some have had many homes, some may be only one. In all cases they have been abandoned for whatever reason. Many of these dogs were bought as fluffy little bundles of fun at about 8 weeks of age. As it matures, it is now requiring more food, more exercise and more of the owners' time. It also may have presented with behavioural problems that are unacceptable to their owners who find the problem unsortable.

 

Rehoming these problem dogs is not easy, people perceive older dogs to be untrainable but this is not the case. Using The Amichien Bonding you can teach an 'old dog' new tricks'.

 

So bear in mind if you take on a rescue dog, it is going to need more time to gain that trust. Don't focus on its past, and make allowances for nervousness by being compassionate and calm.

 

If there are aggression problems, as Dog Listener Caroline says "you can't take the bite out of the dog, but you can take away the reason why."

 

All deserve to be understood. Whenever Caroline is called to see such a dog with behavioural problems, a line is drawn on that day, what is past is past (with the best will in the world we will never know what some rescue dogs have been through). Look to the future, Caroline will work with you to help you show your new friend that he is safe and secure in his new home. A feeling that all canines deserve and which we should provide.
