I always wanted a dog. I finally adopted a little rescue. I was so excited. But, I was also nervous. I wanted to do it right. I found Shannon McDaniel's book. It told me how to help a dog feel safe in a new home. It gave simple steps. It talked about building trust. I wanted my new dog to feel loved.

Chapter "Take it Easy," was very helpful. It talked about the 3-3-3 rule. It explained what to expect in the first days, weeks, and months. Today, my dog was hiding under the bed. I remembered the book. It said new dogs need time. I didn't force her out. I just sat near the bed. I talked to her softly. After a while, she came out. She wagged her tail. I felt a little relief. The book helped me be patient.
