Bringing Your New Dog Home
Decompression in New Home
When bringing home a new rescue dog, it’s important to give them time, structure, and a safe space to decompress.

By letting your dog adjust at their own pace, you lay the foundation for a strong and lasting bond. (Source: AKC – The Importance of Decompression When Bringing Home a New Dog)
