Description

In today's episode of The Pooch Parenting Podcast, I review the Netflix movie, Rescued By Ruby. It's a true story about a man who dreams of joining the K9 Search and Rescue team with the state police. "Typical" search and rescue dogs are too expensive, so he tries a more creative strategy to join the team. He adopts a difficult dog named Ruby from a local shelter and uses positive reinforcement training strategies to give her clarity and structure. Ultimately, his hard work and positive approach to working with Ruby helps them both to become successful

This episode includes:

• Why some shelter dogs are returned or are unsuccessful in their adopted homes
• The effectiveness of positive reinforcement training
• The importance of persistence with dogs and the need to work with the behavioral traits that the dog has
• How to set dogs up for success by making sure that they know what you want
