Getting a rescue dog can be such an amazing thing for someone to do. To help a dog who doesn’t have a family to love them and care for them can be a truly wonderful experience for everyone involved. But there are some important things that you need to think about before making an emotional decision that can positively or negatively affect that dog’s life. We get to meet LOTS of rescue dogs in our training programs. Unfortunately, some people underestimate the needs of that rescue dog before bringing them home. They assume that because they are getting a dog that is older than a puppy, they won’t have to put in some of the important foundational learning that their new dog will need. The steps that you take while introducing a rescue dog to their new home maybe even more important than if you were to bring a puppy into your household. This video will talk about some of these crucial steps to make the transition as positive as it can be for your new four-legged family member.

Hey . Can you tell me do i have to be a citizen to adopt a dog ?
They talk about
Without talking about it
…….. okay now they are !
Thank you for all of the great information!
I rescued my dog a couple months back and we are still working on her major dog reactivity issues. It takes patience love and dedication and the most important thing was I knew what I was getting into. I walked out with her knowing what I was signing up for and that she would be a “project dog”. With help from a behavioral specialist she is getting better every week.
I'm getting a rescue dog this Saturday. 10 year old Yorkshire terrier who comes from a relatively good situation but no training. I'm really curious how he will develop
I was so thrilled to see and watch this video. I’m in the process of training my second rescue dog (my first passed away a year ago at ages 13 and she became an outstanding service animal) and I worry that people who undertake this responsibility don’t really understand what they’re taking on…and if they don’t have the time, experience and patience to provide a wonderful home for these awesome animals. Thank you for making this video.
What a great channel. The chapter markers on the bottom if the video – super well done.
If you are not an experianced dog owner, you would do best to adopt a dog that has been in foster.
The dog will be evaluated by an experianced handler , you will still be rescuing a dog in need.
Also most foster folks will be happy to offer advice SPECIFIC to your dog based on their time with them.
I have a rescue and I LOVE HER!! ❤️?
I'm going through the process of rescuing a Doggo, patience is key, seeking advice and setting expectations low to begin with
This is such great information.
Thank you for sharing your experience with a hoarder dog! I adopted two dogs that came from that environment, and then were taken from a high kill shelter by a rescue (that's what I'm told, anyway). They were bonded. Sammy is learning so quickly, and is loving. Frodo not so much. Not to invalidate that he now crates well and comes when I call. He still doesn't like to be cuddle, but he does, finally, let me brush him. He seems to be getting attached and sits close by whever I am. Also, he kisses my face often. But potty training is still an issue for Frodo so when I heard your 276 days I was so relieved!!! I guess just consistency and patience?
Now to look on YouTube and see if you have a video on teaching these wild ones how to walk on a leash!
My husband and I just adopted a 2 year old pitbull mix. We were very fortunate that his foster moms were dog trainers so he has a great foundation. But yes, training is pretty much all day. When we go for a walk, when we’re playing in the yard, etc.
Does a dog need one "leader" or can all the family members work with and train the dog successfully, can I expect the dog to look at everyone in the house as the "leader"?

There's a LOT to think about when deciding whether to adopt . . . ? Thanks & thumbs up for your videos! ??
Every video I watch from this channel has so much helpful information and easy to understand dialogue, I love it. Also makes me laugh, Bert rolling in poop 6:32
I've had my 7 month old rescue puppy for almost a month. He has the most intense prey drive, and biting issues that weren't apparent at first. I've tried redirecting him, lots of walks and play, and even put vinegar on my hands as a deterrent. That worked for a minute. In every other way he's pretty good. He's crate trained, potty trained and understands simple commands. I'm at a loss as to what to do at this point. Rehoming will never be an option.
I have a question. I have a 2 year old Border Collie that is scared of loud noises and other dogs – mostly bigger ones. She lives with a 12 year old Jack Russell. I've learned a lot from your videos and am working through some of the mistakes I made when she was a puppy. Do you have a video on tips to help a fearful dog. When she gets really scared she tries to bolt away from me. If at home she runs to the door to be let in. If inside she goes in her kennel or the bathroom. She sometimes won't go out in the dark. Thanks for all your helpful videos.
wow, love this channel cant wait for more vids!
Thank you for this video!! So many of your videos focus on young puppies but I have only adopted dogs 10 months – 2 years old so this is SO helpful.
Basically, if you're not ready for the challenges of a rescue dog, you probably shouldn't have any dog at all. It's all work.
I think one of the major reasons people have these expectations such as "an older rescue dog doesn't need training" is because of people who push others to only get rescue dogs. Instead of being realistic, people choose to hype up the rescue dogs, which leads them to being returned to the shelter in the end anyway. Promoting rescue dogs can be done without setting high expectations. People need to know it may be easier, but it could also take as much work as a puppy or more, depending on what training issues the dog has and where they're from. The promotion part needs to be that they are saving a dog's life and that the dog will be grateful. And if the person simply believes they cannot handle a dog like that, well either they get a dog from a responsible breeder or they go dog-less. Fact is, not everyone is cut out to train a rescue, just like not everyone is cut out for a puppy, or any dog at all.
?
i’ve had my rescue for a year now she’s come so far from where she was i’m working on her socialization but i don’t know many well trained dogs do you guys have socialization classes for older dogs?
can you do a meet my dogs?
Oh my goodness, FRED! ❤ so great. A pig at dog classes and agility, I love it! Also, Carol's posed dog photos ?.
And I thought this was about Bernhardiner & co….
Going from German "Rettungshund" Wikipedia entry to English I get "Search and Rescue dog".
Amazing how you can be led on wrong tracks in foreign languages.
Besides that nice video! Thanks!
PS- Carol is my fave trainer (sorry to the rest of you, who are equally as awesome) but I love her.
