Shiloh K9 - Obedience is Rewarding

Wow how I hate that term.  So many people come into my training center telling me "This is a rescued dog"  NO!  This dog is PRIVILEGED.  See "Rescued" puts a label of woe is me poor little thing on the dog.  If you get a dog from a rescue org, don't think of it as a dog that you "Rescued"  Think of it as a dog that is privileged.  This way we don't harp on the dog's past.  Doing that will only cause problems.  It is a life started a new.  I like to think of it as my relationship with Jesus Christ.  I was a lost soul on my own, and headed for trouble.  When I got to know him, he saved me, and now I AM PRIVILEGED to spend all my days here and after with him.  (Had to get that in there, not trying to offend anyone but hey, I am who I am...if you don't like it, don't read it!)  Even if you don't share my beliefs, your dog doesn't need pitty, it needs love and provision.  So don't label your dog unfairly.  Enjoy your dog, and let go of it's past as it will too let go if you allow it to!
