You don't have to go through the process of imprinting a routine from scratch with a rescue dog, do you?

- aashaykumar92 14y agoThat really depends on the rescue dogs' condition.
- ryan-allen 14y agoGenerally their condition is decent. Good shelters tend to only re-home dogs that score well in sociability and training.
- tillk 14y agoA rescue dog — unless maybe really, really old — needs to be challenged constantly. And by challenged, I mean — these dogs are/were rescue dogs for a reason. :) Challenges include games and tasks, and all that. These dogs need "work" to feel alive.
- brixon 14y agoYour talking about police/fire/ems dogs, but they are talking about saved dogs from bad situations. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rescue_dog http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rescue_dog
- tillk 14y agoMy bad. Language barrier! :)
- Jabbles 14y agoI believe you're talking about "search and rescue" dogs. The others were talking about dogs that had been rescued from abusive or neglectful owners. In any case, you are correct :)
