Shelter Dog Training

Yearly, over five to seven million companion animals arrive at animal shelters in the United States. About half of them are surrendered by owners for bad behavior.

 

At least 46% of these dogs have never been trained.

 

Although, adopting a shelter pet is a rewarding and exciting experience. When a dog lover, sees the dozens, if not hundreds of adorable puppies or dogs, it is truly hard to choose which one would be right for a family.

 

At Pawsitive Interaction, we cherish all dogs. Our mission is to bring out the best behavior in all dogs. The love and appreciation you'll have from adopting a shelter dog is beyond compare. 

 

These considerations can help when adopting:

 

  • What kind of history does this puppy or dog have?

  • Why was the puppy surrendered?

  • What is the dog’s personality around other dogs or children?

  • What are they like when you touch or hold them?

 

Most importantly, choose and plan to train your adopted shelter dog. Enroll in Beginning Dog and Behavior Problem Prevention.

 

This kind of training will improve the bond you have and your chances of success with your new puppy or dog.
