Behavioral and Training Issues
|
Behavioral/Training Issues:
1. If you are having a training or behavioral issue with your foster dog and do not know how to work through it, do not wait, call Shannon immediately. We will help work with you to try and resolve it.
2. These issues are not something to wait and then reach out about. We want to solve them sooner, rather than later.
3. We ask that you do not email us about the issue, rather if it is a difficult or serious problem it is best that you talk to one of us directly over the phone, please make sure you call.
4. Remember, Catahoula’s need mental stimulation as well as physical. You have to keep both in balance to have a well-balanced dog. So, if you aren’t supporting both, you might want to reexamine what you are doing with your foster to change that.
5. Also, you are the leader, you foster looks to you for guidance. Make sure you are providing it.
