Tip #2: Rehab is not “FIXING” your dog. It’s about you, the owner, and creating the environment you want and not what you feel. Your dog may perceive feelings of doubt, fear, uncertainty, and worry. If they feel these feelings, they will try to play the leadership role by trying to become dominant.

Tip #3: Never adopt a shelter dog because you feel sorry for the dog. You will cause more harm than good if you do. Make sure the dog you choose reflects the same level of energy as you. Take him for a test drive (Ride) before adopting him, the ride will tell you a lot about his personality.
