At Traction, we have found that the biggest factor of a rescue dog successfully adjusting to a new home is what communication the pet parents establish in the first days of the dog’s arrival. We use a marker training system to clearly encourage good behaviors and clearly discourage unwanted behaviors.

To help dogs find their forever homes, we offer a free training session to anyone who just adopted a dog from a recognized rescue organization or shelter. 

If you are getting a rescue dog, apply to benefit from this program here.
