‘He just needed someone to believe in him’: First-time dog mom adopts the rescue no one else would take and transforms him into a leash-trained, daycare-approved star after months of tears, hot dogs, and daily setbacks

You know, it is rather frustrating both for us and for doggo kind that most hoomans do not fully appreciate or care that when they adopt a doggo into their family, they are beholden to teaching that pupper how to behave in all situations. And that kind of education takes time, effort and hard work to make happen.

Which as we know is not a recipe that most hoomans have a handle on in this world. Which is what makes this story that much sweeter, as a first time dog momma took it upon herself to train a doggo that even an experienced trainer might think twice about adopting. She saw the biggest challenge she could find and leapt towards it with great force and vigor. And as often is the case when we give something our all, the results were simply sublime and not only did she succeed in teaching her canine child how to behave, she gained a best bud for life.

Wow, now that is quite the heartbreaking case to take on, and what a load of work this woman gave herself. Some people would never even dream of helping a hound that is so helpless. But that did not stop this brave woman, and really it should stop a lot less people from adopting…

Wow, honestly, that is not such a long time frame at all for such things. Obviously, it was probably three weeks of utter chaos in a house where the doggy goes potty where ever it pleases. But even so, for a doggo who has never learned not to go potty in the house, that is an impressively short time period to switch things around like that.
