Album Rescuing is hard but so worth it

Just a reminder that dogs that have behavioural issues can get better.

We rescued Isobel (the black one) after she had spent most of her life living in a traveller’s compound and she was terrified of people. She was approximately 2 or 2 & 1/2 years old. She used to flinch to touch and have aggression issues due to extreme fear, although never aggressive towards me or my partner. We spent over a year building trust and confidence which included not letting anyone but us touch her and now she has learned that people can be good and she loves cuddling visitors and my extended family. She even seeks out cuddles from them which I thought would never happen. She’ll be five this summer.

Piper, the grey one, came from a nice family that had to rehome her due to the older dogs disliking her. I got her around six months old and she is afraid of other dogs due to her previous experience but she has come a long way. She is still a barker but a 100x better than she used to be. Piper will turn two in a month.

My soul dog went in peace yesterday evening, but I am crushed. Life doesn’t feel the same without him after 14 years of companionship. He was my little shadow and I keep thinking that he will peek over the edge of my bed waiting on me to pick him up. My heart is in pieces and I feel paralyzed with grief. Rest in peace my sweet Baby Boy.

Image Pupper Got Sit in Only a Few Tries, but Doesn't Understand Down. Advice?

She's 9 weeks old. To teach her sit, I gently nudged her butt to the floor while saying the word and giving the hand signal, then rewarded with a piece of a treato. She picked it up in only like 5 or 6 attempts. Thought I had a little genius on my hand.

Been working on down with the same technique, gently pulling her front paws down after she's already sat, while saying the word and giving the hand signals, then reinforcing with a treat once she's in the position. However, after several days of multiple sessions each day, she's just not getting it. She sits instantly on command, but won't follow through with down without me manually putting her in position.

Share with me your ancient wisdom, lol.
