Finally rescue dogs are addressed in training videos. I feel like so many dog training videos just refer to puppies. I would love to hear more about the process of bringing home rescue dogs ❤️ thank you for addressing this need. I hope it encourages more people to rescue
I've always adopted rescue dogs. One day two weeks ago I was walking one of my dogs a woman pulled over and threw a dog out of the car my heart broke I brought him home. My pack and I disgusted and decided he's staying. But we have issues and we need lots of training. Then you popped up it's time for you to rescue us so that we can keep him in our pack.
@@thehillbillychickenranch oh my that is a question that definitely needs answering but you acted on my comment I suggest you go back and make your own comment so that it gets attention and someone may help. That will definitely hold him back from being adopted and that's not a good thing. I would definitely think controlled socialization would work. Starting with one person and moving up to where there's more slow process but it works. Patience and time is going to be needed for this baby
@@FairyChild_For_Freedom-Justice Cesar Milan has a lot of harmful advice that can make dogs worse. I recommend using positive reinforcement training. Never use harmful methods with an abused dog, you will make it worse.
It's Carol!!! I love her! 🥰 Carole, I rescued a Malinois. He literally needed time, structure, time, physical and emotional needs, time, and structure. After only working with guide dogs my Mali was the perfect challenge. He is 2yrs. He took 10 months to be ok with me kissing his head and to lay on my lap. You nailed this video 100%. Thank you!
Thank you for mentioning the OVERALL importance of crate training. Even if someone never intends to crate their dog consistently over the long term at home, it's REALLY important in the event the dog ends up at the vet or even being boarded along with many less expected scenarios like natural disasters ect.
Very true!! I always looked at a dog being in a crate as a "negative" thing or a punishment. It wasn't until I had gotten a mastiff w terrible separation anxiety. Once we started to go to a trainer, they explained it's more overwhelming the more space they had to roam as opposed to the comfort of their comfort zone,aka their crate. It helped tremendously!
We got our 2 rescue pups and for 3 weeks WE were the only people they saw, interacted with...love, hand feed, tech them their name...lotsa walks in the woods, just us. Building a bond...leading. Wonderful dogs.
Thank you for making this great video! We have adopted 4 dogs over the last 16 years and I volunteer at a shelter. The only thing that is the same about each dog is that it’s not like any other. Being patient and attentive is key to learning about your new buddy and teaching them what is appropriate in their new home.
Brilliant to have rescue focused training resource. I have just adopted a 4 yr old Akita whose pre shelter life was mostly confined to a back yard. Gradually taking out for walks but because of his strength this needs to be with a muzzle as he can find it all overwhelming. He had muzzle training at the shelter but not linked to his walks - but now we are in unpredictable situations even when the route is mostly dog free, and I can see around us, a dog and walker may still surprise us. but this means that the muzzle is already over stressing him before we start.
Great advice. I now realise I rushed the socialisation of my feral rescue. It was a very slow process with her, but worth it when I finally had her trust.
My rescue still does not take treats from me consistently but she seems playful and comfortable for the most part. I'm hoping by the end of the week she will start taking treats consistently
Thank you for this! I adopted my first dog (a rescue from a shelter) about 7 weeks ago and this video really helped me. i'm thought i was doing a good thing by bringing her to dog parks etc to socialize her, but now i realize i was giving her anxiety. i'm still searching for the best balance of socialization and fun time and letting her decompress. i look forward to watching more of your videos!
This makes SO MUCH SENSE ! thanks ! I have 4 dogs , put my poor rescue dog right into daycare - even tho I am home all day ( to make “ friends “) she ended up bitten thru her ear ! I took all my dogs out of daycare bc of the bullying that goes on
Thank you for this episode. We adopted a rescue three weeks ago, they think he is four years old. He is great and we discovered he knows some commands. But he barks at people and other dogs. We are trying to figure it out, but he is now a part of the family.
Another great video from this channel, and this instructor in particular. As someone who has had (and still has) adopted adult dogs from shelters and the street, I strongly recommend this video and others from McCann to anyone who adopts, or is considering adoption. (And note to Burke (sp?): Boy did you luck out with getting Carol.)
I’m so glad I watched this, but wish I had watched it sooner. I just adopted a rescue dog (2 yo) and immediately introduced him to my other dog, thinking this was the right thing to do. Well, Molly (my first dog) did not take well to Wally (my rescue) and they are still wary of each other. They also both seem jealous of my attention, even getting into a tiff at one point. I’ll be going back to square one with Wally and taking a different approach to allow both of them to regain confidence.
I recently Rescued (5wks ago) a 5yr old Cavalier King Charles Spaniel and the only issue I'm seeing with her is that 1).she doesn't play with toys 2). She doesn't give kisses or show affection like cuddling 3). When I try to hold her she wants out of my arms and back in her bed I know that I can't expect her to be like a regular dog for quite a while due to her lifestyle before (being completely used for Breeding at an Amish Puppy Mill) but how do I HELP her to overcome that and have social skills?
Hi I’m not the video creator but I’m going through a very similar experience with my new 1 year old rescue. We’ve had / still having the same issues with not understanding toys, minimal affection, and overall unsureness of himself. I recently learned that dogs don’t inherently know how to give affection to humans and they don’t have an inherent need for it. Many adult rescues have thus far survived without playing with toys or bonding with humans, so they’re not exactly the open canvas that puppies are when it comes to training affection and playtime. They have already formed habits to self-soothe and entertain themselves, albeit likely unsatisfying. *We* know that we’re giving our dogs a better, more comfortable life. But they may be confused on how to embrace the good things we provide them. There are videos on RUclips of how to train your dog to be more affectionate (with treats). Eventually, they should understand that affection feels calming and they’ll begin to seek it out themselves without encouragement first. I’m trying this myself, and I’m seeing a bit of improvement so far! They also need to be taught how to play with different toys (tug, ball/ fetch). Handle the toy in a way that entices your dog and guide them through the steps of fetch or tug. Give lots of praise when they exhibit typical dog play behavior. Good luck to you and your rescue pup 😊
Thank you for this great video! I made the mistake of trying to introduce my rescue dog to people in my life way too fast and it caused some very stressful problems. I wish I had known your advice before I started. Everything you talked about here is really valuable and is sure to help me as I continue to build my relationship with my rescue dog, who I absolutely adore!
What an amazing video. Thank you so much for making it. I took in a foster, I decided to keep her because she’s very wild. Will not listen to anything. She’s very headstrong and if I didn’t keep her no one else would. Then she would just be returned. I’m trying but I feel like I’m failing. She likes to bite when playing. She’s constantly playing. Never tires out. Is scared to walk. Any toy she gets she likes to chew it right on you so she ends up biting us. We crate her but I can’t have her there 24/7. I’m at a loss.
We adopted a rescue dog after our Westies both passed. Very sound advice. We introduced our rescue to our son's dog to soon and it went very bad. Long story short we invested in three weeks of level two training. He 'Rudy' (Miniature Schnauzer/Am. Staff) came home and with him now understanding we are the pack leader is such a great dog. Bottom line don't give up, learn your dog and you'll have a great friend.
More about house training an older dog. Mine is 7 and lived his life in a kennel - he was used for breeding. We’re teaching him his name but house breaking is harder or more important…. We take him out and within 30 minutes he’s doing it in the house - always same place. HELP!
Thank you we rescued a really scared dog from the pound and we want her to be successful and us too and we have five other dogs so we’re a family of six dogs we like a big pack however she’s trying to find her a spot in the pack, but we just had day one
I got my rescue dog on a Saturday... took him to the dog park on Sunday! He had been in foster for three weeks with a great family! Transition was effortless! I've been working with animals for over 20 years now in various avenues .. but not training. Rescue and grooming. It was effortless. He is a gentle three year old mix breed. I guess I was fortunate.
That was GREAT! All of my dogs have been rescue dogs. I got a 2 year old rescue dog several years ago and she always slept in her crate...with the door open. That was where her bed was.
All great tips, I never believed in the crate or pen until this most recent pup, he responds well to it, knows it is also his safe haven. People should never use it as a punishment.
I agree with this but also send my dog to her crate when she is being rough and needs to settle down (well after it has been established as a "safe place") it could be considered a "punishment" but is actually giving her an opportunity to relax
Great video!! Thank you so much, I’m just about to get my first rescue in 3 weeks. This is educational & I’m glad you don’t just describe what to do but you also demonstrate. 😊
We did introduce pur new rescue dog to my dog on day two but after assessing temperament, plus he had been fostered at a house with 10 dogs so we knew he wouldnt have any major problems. They are living at seperate houses for the next two months though so we will slowly increase duration of interaction to avoid excessive stress for either. We really lucked out though in him already having some basic training and having the same person & dog friendly mild temperament as my older dog. I of course am being more vigilant with his reactions to things than i am with the one ive had a decade but considering all the problems we could have inherited i know i am very fortunate.
Hi Carol. My rescue dog has come a long way in 12 months. We've been through puppy nipping at age 14 mos ouch! And bucking like a Bronco on leash. Things are 300% better but when Mr Squirrel makes his appearance, all bets are off. Love your videos.🙃
Oh, the squirrels! I totally know what you mean. My dog does ninja hops every time he sees one and then starts trying to climb up the tree into which the little rat escaped. He goes crazy every time 🤪
I'm adopting a rescue dog some time this Summer, the dog is going to be my service dog prospect. I'm bringing my father and my dog trainer that has trained military dogs and service dogs for over 15 years, and has a service dog of her own. I want to adopt an older dog, around 8 months old so I know what their temperament will be like. I want to find a female pitbull since they are my favorite breed and both of my service dogs were part pitbull and I believe they are the best breed ever from my experience. How long do you think I should wait to start group training? Our trainer is a petsmart trainer and does training outside of petsmart as well. I'm going to do the beginner, intermediate, advanced and therapy classes, because I'd like for her to become a therapy dog too. Should I wait for a few weeks, or months?
I work at my local Humane Society here in Virginia and I just brought home a foster to adopt dog. She is an approx. 6 but may be older Beagle mix. She constantly stops when walking and just stares at me because I dont always go where she wants to go which is the woods where all the bunnies are. I plan to change her name, but would love to know a short list of the cool names you guys have for the pups. They have her as a Melissa...and the Melissa's I knlw are not as nice as she is😂
I got a rescue dog. She’s a really picky eater even wet food or boiled meat are not very effective for leash training especially outdoor(don’t even think about toy). For her meal, she rejected the food (kibble/ wet food/ boiled chicken) and even starved herself a few times until she threw up acid. She only eats treat, and so sometimes I have to mix the treat with food so she would eat.
Our Tony tricked us. :) When we visited him in the kennels the first few times, he was calm, quiet and nice. He was previously with a family and they returned him after only a week. He is a Whippet/Greyhound sort of dog and looks very elegant. It is assumed he was with travellers before and maybe he wasn't a good enough hunting dog or otherwise ran away. Looking at some of his scars and his half-tail, I think he had a tough first year or so. Once we adopted him, he came home with us and the first day he would not move much at all. The first week he was calm and quiet, the second week he started barking at me and growling when he wanted something. For me it warmed my heart seeing him getting his confidence back, but I also did not tolerate barking or growling at me inside the house if he wants to play or too much love biting. He never releases himself inside the house from the start. We have a big backyard and he certainly is a running dog, he loves going outside if it doesn't rain and not too wet and the temperature is just right :D Then he spins around doing his 100m in 5sec, rolls on the grass, chasing pidgins. I start during play to teach him apport and "let go" (not the pidgins :D). On walks, from day one, I teach him traffic lights, stay etc. and he learns like every dog pretty quickly. Tony ALWAYS likes food and treats. We have him now for only about a month. Overall he is not perfect, has a character sometimes, can get too excited during play or when we prepare for a walk. He also has lots of separation anxiety.
How do you teach rescues their new name and not to be aggressive mode with other dogs? How much time do you spend minutes/hours, a day on each command and how often?
I made this mistake. I just rescued a 6 year old dog and within the first two weeks I took him out with me to run errands and meet family and friends. Both times he got an upset stomach the next day. I told my husband he isn't going anywhere for a couple months.
I have a 5year old rescue dog He covers down when I pick him up, doesn't know how to plays with toys he just smells and ignores him Doesn't like going outside, hates loud noises. HELP, what should I do
I’ve never worked with a greyhound, but they are sight hounds so I’d try a toy that’s fast and flashy….maybe a flirt pole it can chase. Or a wubba to fetch.
I really want a dog and I have been educating myself on proper training for a while(thank you for so many great videos), but I can't seem to find any big open fields near my house, it's either concrete or occasionally rocks. Would that kind of surface be damaging for an active dog longterm? Is there anything I can do in this situation other than move out?
My dog is 5 and i just got her last month she cries when im gone and she howls when left alone she. Has a puppy personality im training her and im house training her. Im crate training. There still are accidents
This is an issue of emotions, not training. You need to find a trainer to help you change her feelings towards your visitors. They need an appreciation of how to desensitize and counter-condition to do this. Avoid any trainers who tell you you need to punish her behaviour or that she's trying to take over your house.
I have a rescue, fortunately he was a puppy but he has a slew of health problems so his learning is very slow. I remove him from situations or put him in his play pen if I know a situation will be over stimulating to him. Also make sure the vet has checked to see if she has a displaced bladder, this can sometimes be the cause of piddling when excited, otherwise you can use a belly band until it has been addressed by the vet.
My rescue is too attached to me. whines and shakes if I am not in his immediate area. Even the yard fence between us makes him so stressed. he was stressed and anxious when we got him. I think I am seeing signs of crushing disease. Going to vet for a check but what can I do to help my dog to overcome anxiety
I just brought home a shelter dog. I already have a dog and my current dog is so mad at me. Will he come around and accept his new brother and forgive me?
.y dog is four years old and I am. Never away from her. But I want to go on vacation with my family but she's been known to not eat and is sad just for the day when I used to work and leave her with my sister plz help
I see so many rescue dogs at the dog park that don't respond to their new owners and act unsure or inappropriately around other dogs. It's shameful to watch. Those owners really need to bond with their dogs before taking them to an environment where they're unleashed.
My dog is weird. He’ll do perfect (we’ll almost perfect) recall at the dog park but inside the house he ignores me. I’ll have to work inside the house with him more.
What to do if dog does gollow beside but keeps going ahead. When i call them bk to my side with good course they come then walk proper then slowly forward
When my dog slows down to match my pace I speed up most of the time to reward him since I know he wants to go faster, this has been working well for us
Don't take any dogs to dog parks LOL I don't want my balance to well-behaved non-aggressive dog to be ruined by crazy pets that have no guidance and are treated like babies by fur mommies
A lot of European rescue dogs are in constant flight mode while walking in the street (in the real world) and won't take treats. Babying / puppying them doesn't seem helpful.
That's why ideally you want them to focus on you rather than everything else around them. Practice in a low distraction environment at first and work your way up. It can be a bit more challanging with some than others.
@@hippiebits2071 thé reality often is that we have to cross a few busy streets to get to thé nature. Busses, narrow pavements, houses built right next to eachother anyone could pop out at anytime, stores in between etc. Often a Tiny or no garden. Confidence and showing them what's expected and a lot of repitition. First walk limit the amount of streets and keep moving, they start cooperating after a 10-20 minutes or once their environment becomes interesting (nature). Anti-escape harness strapped with a short leash to your belt or something.
@@fleedum But those problems exist for new puppies as well. It sounds like a training video dedicated to people who live in city is what you would need.
@@BlckSWANWhtRbbt Sounds like the majority of Europeans to me and the area were most problems are? I don't think country side people have a lot of issues with their dogs nor are they the ones watching RUclips :p? I don't know how it is over there but my country is all brick.
She’s using rescue to refer to dogs that have been rescued from very different and inappropriate environments- this training video isn’t going to be for owners who’s dogs have come from perfect and similar environment who have no behaviour issues.
It would be nice to see how you train him... Not after he already is trained... That dog is always looking at you waiting for treats... That's not a dog... It's a robot

Finally rescue dogs are addressed in training videos. I feel like so many dog training videos just refer to puppies. I would love to hear more about the process of bringing home rescue dogs ❤️ thank you for addressing this need. I hope it encourages more people to rescue
*encourages the RIGHT people to rescue
I think all information applies to any dog
I've always adopted rescue dogs. One day two weeks ago I was walking one of my dogs a woman pulled over and threw a dog out of the car my heart broke I brought him home. My pack and I disgusted and decided he's staying. But we have issues and we need lots of training. Then you popped up it's time for you to rescue us so that we can keep him in our pack.
@@thehillbillychickenranch oh my that is a question that definitely needs answering but you acted on my comment I suggest you go back and make your own comment so that it gets attention and someone may help. That will definitely hold him back from being adopted and that's not a good thing. I would definitely think controlled socialization would work. Starting with one person and moving up to where there's more slow process but it works. Patience and time is going to be needed for this baby
Ty Marie. I added my comment separately. 😊
@@thehillbillychickenranch I wish you all the luck that you get help for that little baby ♥️
@@thehillbillychickenranch also look on RUclips for Cesar millan he has a lot of videos when it comes to aggression maybe we advise from him will help

I'm bringing my father and my dog trainer that has trained military dogs and service dogs for over 15 years, and has a service dog of her own. I want to adopt an older dog, around 8 months old so I know what their temperament will be like. I want to find a female pitbull since they are my favorite breed and both of my service dogs were part pitbull and I believe they are the best breed ever from my experience. How long do you think I should wait to start group training? Our trainer is a petsmart trainer and does training outside of petsmart as well. I'm going to do the beginner, intermediate, advanced and therapy classes, because I'd like for her to become a therapy dog too. Should I wait for a few weeks, or months?
I work at my local Humane Society here in Virginia and I just brought home a foster to adopt dog. She is an approx. 6 but may be older Beagle mix. She constantly stops when walking and just stares at me because I dont always go where she wants to go which is the woods where all the bunnies are.
I plan to change her name, but would love to know a short list of the cool names you guys have for the pups. They have her as a Melissa...and the Melissa's I knlw are not as nice as she is😂
Did you ever come up with a name for her?
Melissa sucks for a dog imo 😂
How about Merry?
I got a rescue dog. She’s a really picky eater even wet food or boiled meat are not very effective for leash training especially outdoor(don’t even think about toy). For her meal, she rejected the food (kibble/ wet food/ boiled chicken) and even starved herself a few times until she threw up acid. She only eats treat, and so sometimes I have to mix the treat with food so she would eat.
Our Tony tricked us. :) When we visited him in the kennels the first few times, he was calm, quiet and nice. He was previously with a family and they returned him after only a week.
He is a Whippet/Greyhound sort of dog and looks very elegant. It is assumed he was with travellers before and maybe he wasn't a good enough hunting dog or otherwise ran away. Looking at some of his scars and his half-tail, I think he had a tough first year or so.
Once we adopted him, he came home with us and the first day he would not move much at all. The first week he was calm and quiet, the second week he started barking at me and growling when he wanted something. For me it warmed my heart seeing him getting his confidence back, but I also did not tolerate barking or growling at me inside the house if he wants to play or too much love biting.
He never releases himself inside the house from the start.
We have a big backyard and he certainly is a running dog, he loves going outside if it doesn't rain and not too wet and the temperature is just right :D Then he spins around doing his 100m in 5sec, rolls on the grass, chasing pidgins. I start during play to teach him apport and "let go" (not the pidgins :D).
On walks, from day one, I teach him traffic lights, stay etc. and he learns like every dog pretty quickly.
Tony ALWAYS likes food and treats.
We have him now for only about a month.
Overall he is not perfect, has a character sometimes, can get too excited during play or when we prepare for a walk. He also has lots of separation anxiety.
How do you teach rescues their new name and not to be aggressive mode with other dogs? How much time do you spend minutes/hours, a day on each command and how often?
I made this mistake. I just rescued a 6 year old dog and within the first two weeks I took him out with me to run errands and meet family and friends. Both times he got an upset stomach the next day. I told my husband he isn't going anywhere for a couple months.
I have a 5year old rescue dog
He covers down when I pick him up, doesn't know how to plays with toys he just smells and ignores him
Doesn't like going outside, hates loud noises.
HELP, what should I do
I have a rescue greyhound who doesn't understand toys. What else other than treats can I use as a reward?
I’ve never worked with a greyhound, but they are sight hounds so I’d try a toy that’s fast and flashy….maybe a flirt pole it can chase. Or a wubba to fetch.
I really want a dog and I have been educating myself on proper training for a while(thank you for so many great videos), but I can't seem to find any big open fields near my house, it's either concrete or occasionally rocks. Would that kind of surface be damaging for an active dog longterm? Is there anything I can do in this situation other than move out?
My dog is 5 and i just got her last month she cries when im gone and she howls when left alone she. Has a puppy personality im training her and im house training her. Im crate training. There still are accidents
One of our rescues wants to attack our guests. How to I train her to behave? Our 2nd issue is she gets excited and pees.
This is an issue of emotions, not training. You need to find a trainer to help you change her feelings towards your visitors. They need an appreciation of how to desensitize and counter-condition to do this. Avoid any trainers who tell you you need to punish her behaviour or that she's trying to take over your house.
I have a rescue, fortunately he was a puppy but he has a slew of health problems so his learning is very slow. I remove him from situations or put him in his play pen if I know a situation will be over stimulating to him. Also make sure the vet has checked to see if she has a displaced bladder, this can sometimes be the cause of piddling when excited, otherwise you can use a belly band until it has been addressed by the vet.
@@Vro- Thank you, will do!
My rescue is too attached to me. whines and shakes if I am not in his immediate area. Even the yard fence between us makes him so stressed. he was stressed and anxious when we got him. I think I am seeing signs of crushing disease. Going to vet for a check but what can I do to help my dog to overcome anxiety
I just brought home a shelter dog. I already have a dog and my current dog is so mad at me. Will he come around and accept his new brother and forgive me?
Loved this video
Carroll and @mccanndogs how do you reassure a scared/unsure pup while being a good leader?
Do rescued dogs have to be trained coz I have two and my parents don’t do any trainings with them
Great concept, great explanation
Carrol and @mccanndogs my rescue is insecure in new places. Is exposure and reinforcement the way through this?
.y dog is four years old and I am. Never away from her. But I want to go on vacation with my family but she's been known to not eat and is sad just for the day when I used to work and leave her with my sister plz help
I see so many rescue dogs at the dog park that don't respond to their new owners and act unsure or inappropriately around other dogs. It's shameful to watch. Those owners really need to bond with their dogs before taking them to an environment where they're unleashed.
Great advice, thank you!
Great instructions Carol!
My dog is weird. He’ll do perfect (we’ll almost perfect) recall at the dog park but inside the house he ignores me. I’ll have to work inside the house with him more.
Walks are dog currency. BEST way to bond
What to do if dog does gollow beside but keeps going ahead. When i call them bk to my side with good course they come then walk proper then slowly forward
When my dog slows down to match my pace I speed up most of the time to reward him since I know he wants to go faster, this has been working well for us
@@twinflame9174 i will give it a try. Thank you so much.
I had 1 dog and adopted another. I am alone. I didn’t have the ability to spend one on one time with the rescue. I had to train as a pack.
This video is priceless 😀
So what happens if the rescue dog seems to not care about treats?
How do u teach them not to eat ur hand with the treat. I feel like ive tried with me
Yeaaaa. Great advice.
I early enjoy Carol’s trading and delivery. Great work.
such a fantastic video.... should be mandatory for all dog owners to study this hahaha
He's a. Cute rescue dog
👍👍👍👍
Can you teach older dogs 🐕 new tricks?
What type of doggie is that
Don't take any dogs to dog parks LOL I don't want my balance to well-behaved non-aggressive dog to be ruined by crazy pets that have no guidance and are treated like babies by fur mommies
This dog'sbody language show fear. The dogs tail is tucked.
A lot of European rescue dogs are in constant flight mode while walking in the street (in the real world) and won't take treats. Babying / puppying them doesn't seem helpful.
That's why ideally you want them to focus on you rather than everything else around them. Practice in a low distraction environment at first and work your way up. It can be a bit more challanging with some than others.
@@hippiebits2071 that's ideally indeed but almost never thé reality over here.
@@hippiebits2071 thé reality often is that we have to cross a few busy streets to get to thé nature. Busses, narrow pavements, houses built right next to eachother anyone could pop out at anytime, stores in between etc. Often a Tiny or no garden.
Confidence and showing them what's expected and a lot of repitition. First walk limit the amount of streets and keep moving, they start cooperating after a 10-20 minutes or once their environment becomes interesting (nature). Anti-escape harness strapped with a short leash to your belt or something.
@@fleedum But those problems exist for new puppies as well. It sounds like a training video dedicated to people who live in city is what you would need.
@@BlckSWANWhtRbbt Sounds like the majority of Europeans to me and the area were most problems are? I don't think country side people have a lot of issues with their dogs nor are they the ones watching RUclips :p? I don't know how it is over there but my country is all brick.
Load of sh""3. .
Lets stop calling them RESCUE dogs. Putting a weird label on them. Just say previously homed .
it's called rescue because we rescued them from previously owned
@@chouchgreen no you only like to say rescue so you can get some kind of weird credit. It's all for your ego
She’s using rescue to refer to dogs that have been rescued from very different and inappropriate environments- this training video isn’t going to be for owners who’s dogs have come from perfect and similar environment who have no behaviour issues.
It would be nice to see how you train him... Not after he already is trained... That dog is always looking at you waiting for treats... That's not a dog... It's a robot
