Skilled and Artful Dog Training
Ideal Shelter Dogs
Though I love the sport of purebred dog showing and competition obedience, I am also an active participant in re-homing shelter dogs. I encourage anyone who is looking for a great pet and companion to visit their local shelter. Furthermore, one can do a little bit of armchair shopping for a pre-owned dog on the Internet. Pet Finder, Craigslist, and Kijiji are all highly used by shelters, rescues, and individuals needing to place quality purebred and breed-type dogs.
Shelter dogs respond to reinforcement training just as readily as other dogs. Their training should begin the very day they go to their forever home. Remember, reinforcement training is based on defining what you want from your dog, setting him up for success, and rewarding him for any accomplishments toward that goal. You can smother your new shelter dog with all the love he deserves but please don't expect him to become a perfect dog without teaching him to understand what it is that you expect from him.
Shelter dogs are intelligent, affectionate, smart and loyal.
Shelter dogs are IDEAL DOGS.
