A Dog's History
Many shelter dogs come from unknown backgrounds. Most lack training or socialization. If they were feral or lived on the streets, they can have behavioral issues. It’s understandable that they need instruction and patience.

A Dog's History
After you adopt your dog, you may notice some negative etiquette and behavioral issues.
- Hyperactivity (needs more exercise than the owner can provide)
- Destructive behavior (marking, chewing, etc.)
- Psychological anxiety (howling, crying, barking)
- Problems getting along with other pets inside and outside the home.
- Refuse to obey.
If no solution is founds, dogs get returned to the shelters.

Alpha Dominance
positive reinforcement
Relationship based
Alpha dog or dominance suggests that dogs see their families as their packs and follow a social hierarchy, as observed in captive wolf packs.
Dogs need to learn to respect their human as the alpha and submit. If your dog wants to go out, then they have to sit or stand still before you open the door. If they want to eat, then they have to wait calmly while you prepare food.

Positive reinforcement is important to learn how to strengthen good behavior without the need for reward. Instead of a reward, we build the dogs' confidence and make then feel proud of their accomplishments. Positive reinforcement encourages good behaviors and bring out their best qualities
