A Rescue Thank You

ETT gives a huge thank you discount to rescue dogs

I had to sit down and do the math.  Five out of the nine dogs I've owned in my lifetime were rescues.  That's pretty cool, that's over half.  Two were born in my home, neither rescues nor purchases.  Five dogs were purebreds, two of which were rescues.   None came from pet stores, shops, etc.  Two came from breeders.  Two came from either a shelter or rescue.  Two of the rescues were strays that I picked up and they stayed forever.

I love rescues but I understand that some rescues could really use some help adjusting after their traumatic experience.  Some experience their own version of what we know as PTSD.  Can you blame them?  Chewing, licking, pacing, cowering, leash pulling, anxiety are all signs of stress.  When is living in a shelter not stressful?

My little Dachshund Nestle is a rescue.  He went from the breeder to his new home to a rescue group all within a week.  And got neutered somewhere along the way.  He was three months old when I adopted him, so he was tiny when his trauma occurred.  Even the rescue group still remembers dear Nestle eight years later as their, "problem child."  He was a mess.  He was a mess for many years and still has his moments.

Nestle was about three years old when he first experienced TTouch.  He went to all six of my Tellington TTouch certification trainings.  Although he would have greatly benefited from TTouch at the time that I adopted him, it was still hugely beneficial and he made great changes.   TTouch made a huge difference in our bond, his behavior, and greatly increased his comfort level with being in the world.   He's also a great ambassador for, "keep TTouch a regular routine."  He's a master at digressing!


So here's the deal!  Literally
