Having a new dog join your family can be one of the most joyful and wonderful experiences a family can have. Everyone dreams of getting a pup that fits right into their family and is a treasured friend of everyone.
Sometimes, though having a dog join the family is not wonderful. The wrong fit can lead to stress, extra expenses and resentment.
Often the difference between a wonderful experience and an overly stressful one is adopting a dog that has already been professionally trained. In this post, I am going to share about Aly’s Perfect Match Program.
About Dog and Owner Matching
I began matching trained dogs with the perfect human at Aly’s Puppy Bootcamp several years ago. It all started when a I was in conversation with a client about the characteristics she should look for in a dog.
After a few minutes of discussing temperament and energy levels– she blurts out,
“I am looking for a dog just like yours Aly, in fact I want your dog!”
Well, my pup was not for sale. But it was no accident that she liked my dog.
I knew my dogs parents. I tested his temperament as a pup. I began training him on my Pillars of Pack Leadership early. I also ensured that he had a lot of positive social interaction—all of these factors helped him be the perfect dog for me.
I knew right then that if I could find a perfect dog for me, I could do it for others as well.
I select special dogs, train them and then match them specifically to the perfect human. It is a process of getting to know the people as much as the dog, I call it our Perfect Match Program.
