<a target="_blank" href="https://www.buzzsprout.com/twilio/text_messages/761645/open_sms">Send us a text</a>Welcome to this episode of the Sexier than a Squirrel podcast, the podcast that brings you real-life dog training results, and sometimes human training ones too! In this episode, Lauren is joined once again by wonderful Pro Dog Trainer and passionate rescue dog advocate Katrin, who is back to share her experiences of welcoming her latest rescue, Nico, into her growing multi-dog household. Lauren and Katrin discuss why it’s so important to provide any new dog time to decompress and settle into their new environment before expecting too much from them - particularly when you’re integrating a new dog into a home with other resident dogs. They chat about the value of getting to know your dog’s unique personality, spending time building your relationship, growing trust, setting boundaries and taking things slowly. Discover why ditching the walk can be a game-changer for new rescues, how enrichment activities and simple, confidence-building games can ease the transition into their forever homes, and how supporting brain health and gut health go hand in hand with training. Katrin shares her future training goals for Nico, as well as her aspirations for him to be a future demo dog - while acknowledging the skills he needs to grow first. Be inspired as she shares how games-based training has transformed other dogs she’s welcomed into her home - particularly Naughty But Nice Clyde, who has overcome many challenges since he found his home with her. Katrin’s passion and dedication is an inspiration - and this conversation is a celebration of the incredible resilience of rescue dogs - and the incredible people who give them a second chance. Keen to keep up with Katrin’s recall training journey with Nico?
