Older puppies will be treated the same as any stray and will require a stray appointment.
Before rehoming your dog, we hope you'll try out some of the behavior and training resources to help you overcome any issues you're having with your dog.
CharlieBar is our preferred board and train facility and what Love Them All uses for many of our own residents. We have included a training cheat sheet that lays out the recommended structure and approach that is used by our preferred trainer, Ricardo Paredes. To learn more about his techniques and watch videos of how he works with the dogs, you can check out his Facebook page.
