SEE SOME PICTURES OF THE DOGS BEING WORKED ON AND THE WORK WE ARE DOING
The first 2-3 weeks when a dog goes to a new home are crucial (known as the Honeymoon period).  It is during this period that if the dog has any behaviour problems they are likely to be surpressed, or occur at low frequency and intensity due to the dogs insecurity. This is also the ideal time for new owners to set in place House Rules, so that the dog knows exactly where it stands and what is, and is not allowed. ​
