destructive behaviour<\/a>, such as chewing, digging, or scratching, due to anxiety, boredom, or frustration. They may not have learned appropriate outlets for their energy, and may engage in destructive behaviours as a way to cope.<\/p>\n\n\n\nSeparation Anxiety<\/h3>\n\n\n\n Many rescue dogs may develop separation anxiety when left alone, as they may have experienced abandonment or separation from their previous owners or pack. This can result in excessive vocalisation, destructive behaviour, or other anxiety-related behaviours when left alone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Leash Reactivity<\/h3>\n\n\n\n Rescue dogs may be reactive on the leash, barking, lunging, or showing other aggressive behaviours towards other dogs, people, or stimuli. This may be due to fear, anxiety, or lack of socialisation, and may require training and management to address.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It’s important to approach newly rescued dogs with patience, understanding, and positive reinforcement-based training methods. Each dog is an individual with their unique history and needs, and it’s essential to work with a qualified professional, such as a positive reinforcement-based dog trainer or a veterinary behaviourist, to develop a customised behavior modification plan. Consistency, positive reinforcement, and a compassionate approach can help rescue dogs overcome their behavioural issues and adjust to their new homes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
