Recently adopted a dog. Congrats Take your time - plenty of time for training. The aim of the game at the start is to help your dog feel safe and connect. Set up a safe zone (play pen) for your dog, with a mat, food, toys etc. Keep your dogs world small to start with. Gradually expose your dog to new stimulus over time. Focus on patience, put in place a predictable routine, and spend quality time together through gentle play. Training comes later. #melbournedogtrainer #rescuedogtrainer | Act of
