Ever wondered why rescue dogs seem to change after a few months? 🐾
It’s often around the 80 to 90 day mark that they start to show their true colors.
When we first bring them home, they comply and seem grateful. But without boundaries or rules, they might take advantage of our kindness.
Many people I talk to say they’ve had their rescue dog for about three months, and that’s when the challenges often begin.
So, here’s my advice: start training your dog 24 hours after they arrive.
This doesn’t mean being harsh, but it’s about establishing rules early on. It’s much easier to set boundaries now than to change behaviors later when they think anything goes.
