Expect your new dog to need training

Although many of the dogs we rescue may have had some obedience training or house training in their past, because we often don't know their history, every dog is a bit like a puzzle that we have to put together one piece at a time to solve the mystery of that particular dog. We always recommend that you plan to immediately sign up for a basic obedience class with any dog you might adopt. Even if you have years of experience with dogs, the class will help you and your new dog to bond sooner and will also give your dog the opportunity to work on obedience in a public setting with the distractions of other dogs around. And who knows? You might even learn something new as well?

Stuart knew none of this when he was rescued by Camp Cocker. This shows you what a dedicated adopter can do with a dog if you put the time and effort in.
