In this episode we talk about how to adopt an adult dog. We spend some time discussing how to pick the right dog and then spend most of the episode on how to introduce that dog to your home.

Is the "decompression period" real? Should you start training your new dog right away or allow them free rein for a while they acclimate? Matt and Nelson give their opinions on these topics and more.

We discussed the following video during this episode:

We get a lot of questions on the difference between a service dog, a therapy dog and an emotional support dog. These are three very different categories and the differences matter.

Different rules and laws both protect and restrict dogs and their handlers and it is crucial to know the difference if you will be taking your dog in public as a therapy dog, ESA or service dog.

This is an often overlooked topic that we help clients with all the time. Many people get their dog trained well enough to listen to them, but are still worried about how that dog will react to a dog sitter or a dog walker.

We cover how to handle this situation with dogs that are simply wild, dogs that are aggressive and dogs that are fearful.
