In Episode 71 of Raising Your Paws, (you can listen below) my guest, was Steve Frost, lead behavioral trainer with “A Sound Beginning,” a dog training program created specifically for the newly adopted pets. We were talking about what to do to minimize the stress a dog may feel transitioning to their new home and how to build a good relationship of trust for you and your canine as well as the pets already residing in the home.

The organization, A Sound Beginning does NOT only provide help and training for adopted dogs. They also work with cats, birds and other more unusual animals. If you need help with your pet no matter if they are newly adopted or they have been with you for awhile, reach out to them.
