Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

The hardest part of working with a rescue dog isn't teaching new behaviors-it's unlearning the belief thatprogress should look like momentum, and that silence means nothing's happening. Priya Ashworth's insightfulbook explores the psychological repair work required when a dog has learned that safety isn't real and trust is aliability.When a rescue dog enters your home, training stops being about obedience and becomes an exercise in readingwhat fear looks like when it's gone quiet. Dog Training for Rescue Dogs: The Long Rebuild is not a commandmanual, a timeline program, or a collection of quick fixes. Instead, it maps the specific dynamics of traumarecovery in dogs, showing you what your rescue's silence actually means and why conventional trainingwisdom often makes things worse.Through real scenarios from working with fearful dogs, you'll explore the hidden mechanics of trust-building:- The Celebration Trap: Why marking a win too loudly can undo weeks of quiet progress, and howpressure disguised as praise teaches a fearful dog to shut down again.- The Vigilance Lock: Why some dogs never learn to relax, and what it means when your rescue scans theroom for threats in a quiet, empty house.- The Courage Drain: Why one brave act doesn't mean the fear is gone-it means the dog overrode terrorfor thirty seconds, and that effort is fragile and exhausting.This book gives you the tools to read what your rescue's silence actually means, sidestep the pressure traps thatundo weeks of progress, and build trust at the pace trauma heals-not the pace conventional wisdom demands.Pick up Dog Training for Rescue Dogs: The Long Rebuild now and start working with your dog where they are,not where the timeline says they should be.
