Rescue Dog Training

Dogs are highly social animals. This can account for their ability to be trained, their playfulness, and ability to fit into human households and social situations. These attributes have earned dogs a unique position in the realm of co-dependant relationship with humans despite being one of the most effective, dangerous predators.

The loyalty and devotion that dogs have as part of their natural instinct as pack animals closely relates to the human idea of love and friendship, leading many dog owners to view their pets as full-fledged family members. Dogs live by this strict hierarchy of structure. One area that can cause Dog behavior problems is a dogs misunderstanding of their place in the pack.

Dogs will often show dominance in cases where they perceive a vacuum or opening in the “pack structure. As a result, they will attempt to move their “social standing” up to a higher level in the pack. This is natural for a dog, yet very misunderstood by dog owners. It will in many cases we then have dog behavior problems, as we perceive it, while to them it’s natural. Many times this behavior is evident in rescued animals, making rescue dog training essential.

We are currently working on just that type with our rescue. After hours of research, and library visits, and Google searches we purchased Daniel Steven’s Sit, Stay, Fetch. I have noticed behavioral improvement from both the dog, as well as in many ways me. I have improved my communication with him immeasurably. Please check out Daniel Stevens program if you too are working on Dog Behavior Problems.
