A high number of these unclaimed dogs at The Lost Dogs’ Home have behavioural issues and need additional training and socialisation before going up for adoption.

The Home in conjunction with Planet K9 operate a comprehensive behaviour rehabilitation program that is tailored to the needs of each dog. The program gives dogs the opportunity to be rehabilitated and as a result, better their chances of getting adopted and staying on at their new home.

This week, we meet Daryl and Ozzie – two terrific terriers and graduates of the behaviour rehabilitation program. Arriving at the Home in a severely traumatised state, the pair were recently adopted following their successful rehabilitation.

We also explore the types of problem behaviour and how each can be tackled.
