According to a AAA survey, 20 percent of people admitted to driving with pets loose in the car and 31 percent said doing so was a distraction. Dogs should ride secured with a harness or in a secure crate to prevent becoming a projectile in an accident, and to not be a distraction to the driver. But be sure to research your purchases, as some harnesses and crates only prevent distraction and are not actual crash protection. The Center for Pet Safety does crash tests to test out products so look to them for recommendations. Read more in my post this week: https://rescuedbytraining.com/2025/04/21/dogs-and-car-safety/

“My duty to my dogs is to remember they are a different species with different communication and behaviors trying to exist in my life. I can only trust that I will do all I can to make this a good relationship.”

The dogs have arrived!! In this week's class, the detainee handlers learned “How to Speak—and Listen: Dog!”

Building upon last week’s foundation class on Learning Theory, The Laws of Reinforcement, and Canine Body Language, the men were eager to apply their newfound knowledge in real-world scenarios.

Today's focus was on mastering the proper leash-holding techniques, fostering positive greetings, and nurturing a supportive environment for the dogs to thrive.
The handlers demonstrated empathy and understanding towards their learners, ensuring they felt secure while encouraging their individual personalities to shine through.

It was amazing to witness the incredible progress made by both the dogs and the men – Rescued Program Group 45 is off to a doggone good start! Stay tuned for more updates on their journey together.
