    Description

    Learn Professional Dog Training Techniques by Fostering an Introverted Dog

    Many dogs that come from hard pasts need some time with a dedicated, loving foster before they are ready to find their forever home. These dogs are often forgotten, given up on, and tossed from one location to another. Many of them are anxious around other dogs. Some have been abused by people and need to learn that they are now safe and can trust. Some just need to learn that not every noise is a danger to them, they no longer need to be on alert because their person will keep them safe. These dogs need a special person or family to help them. This person would be confident (without being dominant or stern), patient, and have a passion for truly changing the life of the dog. A professional trainer will be teaching you techniques, games, and methods to help the dog with their specific needs with ongoing training and support. Everything you need to care for the dog is provided, food, treats, toys, blankets, bed, and all medical is covered. All you need to provide is a safe home for the dog to learn and flourish under your guidance. Please contact us for more information, and help us with this incredible need. A dog is waiting for you.
