Decompression is a calming period that a dog needs when first arriving in your home. It is imperative the dog has this time to adjust to the new environment, people, and other animals. The average decompression time is about two weeks, but it differs for every dog.

Many people do not realize how crucial decompression is and how this will make or break how your dog is introduced into the new home. Please set your dog up for success.

It is also imperative that the new dog and resident dog(s) have time to adjust to a new dog in the home. Many people do not realize that this takes time and cannot be rushed.

In the first couple of weeks when keeping dogs separate, it is essential to “crate and rotate”. This means when the new dog is due for some time out of the crate, please be mindful that the other dog is in a separate room or in his/her crate, so there are no opportunities for off-leash interaction.

After the first week, if the dogs seem to be tolerating one another in the home (still being kept separate) you can start walks together in week two, but always keep them at a distance and take things very slowly. If the dogs are relaxed around each other during those walks, then they can have some social time in the house, dragging leashes and under supervision. When they are good 100% of the time dragging leashes and have been playing nicely, the leashes can be removed and dogs given more time together. Again, this may take more than two weeks, so please be patient. They should still be supervised at all times for a period of months, if not indefinitely, depending on the dogs.

During this decompression time, we highly recommend no long walks, car rides, pet store excursions, parties, etc. UNTIL THE DOG IS READY. (Necessary trips to the vet are excluded from this.) Any of the above activities or events provide an over abundance of stimuli and are very stressful, especially when the dog still has no reason to trust you.

By submitting this application, you agree that you have read the decompression rules and will abide by this policy.
