Many dogs that arrive in shelters have already undergone some form of basic training. Sometimes this was done in their first home, and other times it’s something that happens while they are in the care of the shelter or rescue. Adopting a pup that has already received a little bit of training gives you a solid foundation on which to build. When you adopt a dog, the shelter workers and volunteers will have a good idea of what the animal’s temperament and energy levels are like. These workers have likely spent some time with the dog and are committed to finding it a home where it will best fit in with the owner’s current lifestyle. The knowledge that these workers have will help you find just the right pet for you.
