Rehabilitation

Aggression remains a serious management and legal concern for dog owners and shelters. Housing dogs in social and spatial restriction have been associated with physiological changes as well as behavioural disturbances. Much as stray dogs interact and mingle freely with people, they are not obedient to humans compared to home dogs. Appropriate rehabilitation methods are thus needed for all dogs to co-exist among themselves and with care takers at the shelter. Specialist training in obedience and behaviour conditioning is therefore emphasised to new and old dogs at the shelter so that by the time of family adoption, re-union the ounce stray and wild is Man’s best friend
