How to Train an Abused Dog

by @ How to of the Day

Tue Mar 27 01:00:00 PDT 2018

Dogs who’ve suffered abuse may be withdrawn, depressed, inactive, and distrustful. While not all fearful and shy dogs have been abused, abuse can make the dog hesitant and nervous around humans. While it takes time to help a pup overcome its past, abused dogs can become loving pets if the right person comes into their life. If you’ve rescued an abused dog, then you’ll likely want to train it. Before you can train your dog, you need to take care of the dog’s health and safety so that it can learn to trust you. Then you will be able to housebreak your dog, teach it basic commands, and help it overcome its past.
