Dog Mom Confession: Sometimes it’s stressful adopting a new dog!
Have you ever heard of the 3-3-3 Rule? This advice gives Pet Parents an expectation of what to expect 3 Days, 3 Weeks and 3 Months after bringing a new dog home.
Today’s guest Ann King is the dog trainer who has popularized the 3-3-3 Rule for the shelter & rescue community.
Ann is also the creator of the Rescue SMART framework. SMART is an acronym for Ann’s five steps to successfully introducing and integrating a new dog to your home:
- Structure
- Management
- Activity
- Red Flags
- Training
Ann will share what each of these components means and how to implement the SMART framework in your home. Ann will also tell us how she developed the framework – including all the mistakes she made along the way.
We’ll also learn the most common mistakes that Pet Parents make when introducing a new dog to their home and the easy ways to fix or prevent these.
Share this episode with your shelter and rescue friends! Rescue SMART is a totally free resource that includes videos and PDF downloads to help anyone introducing a new dog to their home.
