In this episode I discuss Rescue Dogs answering listener questions about what the term “rescue dog” really means, how dogs become orphaned and how they enter the “foster care and rescue system”. I provide some new information about the reality of the “honeymoon period” and share personal ethical dilemmas some of which have shaken my core. Last I share a list of considerations any potential guardian ought make prior to acquiring a pet dog companion and particularly those with an unknown learning history. I agree with animal trainer Ken Ramirez when he says that dog training is not a luxury; it is a necessity. As responsible pet owners (guardians), it is our duty to understand how to properly manage and live with our dogs. By doing our research beforehand and practicing best techniques, we can set our dogs up for success in our world and support them in the best way possible.
