Introduction

Welcome to RescueDogs101.com. This website is owned and operated by Rescue Dogs 101. By visiting our website and accessing the information, resources, services, products, and tools we provide, you understand and agree to accept and adhere to the following terms and conditions as stated in this policy (hereafter referred to as ‘User Agreement’), along with the terms and conditions as stated in our Privacy Policy (please refer to the Privacy Policy section below for more information).

While Rescue Dogs 101 has worked to make sure all the information on this blog come from the most accurate and up-to-date sources, you should know that dogs, like all animals, can be unpredictable. No matter how careful you are, no matter how many rules you follow, bad stuff can happen.

Also, much of the advice and guidance on this blog requires close observation of dogs; there may be nuances of behavior that the observer can miss. So even though this blog is packed with advice from experts, there is no guarantee that such advice will work in any specific situation. Always be cautious with dogs who are strangers to you and careful with dogs with whom you are familiar.

I am not a veterinarian nor to I pretend to be one. If your dog is sick or if you think he is sick, take him to a vet asap. Any health related advice given on this blog is written in my opinion and experience and should not replace the advice given from your vet. 

Any training you do with your dog(s), or any interaction with your dog(s) bears some level of risk. All of our techniques are meant to be conflict free, however, implementation of these techniques is done at your own risk and we will not be responsible for any injury to your dog, yourself or to others that may arise from the appropriate or inappropriate implementation of our training techniques.

If you have a dog that is suffering from any sort of aggression or reactivity, it is best to seek the advice of a local in person professional dog trainer and not to attempt the rehabilitation process on your own.
