*Note: The adjustment period may consist of nothing more than reminding the pet of their house manners (new surroundings & family can unsettle even the best trained dogs). It may also be much more involved and require a consistent routine, dog-proofing your house, extra walks, and a crate (to either finish crate training or as a safe, secure place for one who is already trained). Rest easy though, this period is usually brief and I am here to help you through it! After all, I do this every time a rescued animal comes in and leaves. Yes, you heard me right, every time! It's just a normal part of the process.
