Dogs 360 Training & Rehabilitation, Inc. takes great pride in helping shelter dogs and the dog rescue community. Shelter dogs are at the heart of our family and training company, as 6 of our 7 dogs came to us with problematic behaviors from shelters across the United States and oversees. Today, our Dogs360 pack provides our clients dogs with the safe and stable social group they need in order to develop social skills and learn to live in harmony with their own kind.
Approximately 6.5 million companion animals enter U.S. animal shelters nationwide every year. Of those, approximately 3.3 million are dogs and 3.2 million are cats. ... Each year, approximately 1.5 million shelter animals are euthanized (670,000 dogs and 860,000 cats).
Ernesto Faisal, of Dogs360, whom I proudly call " my trainer" has been a literal lifesaver to several dogs in my rescue, as well as many other troubled dogs in the Connecticut rescue community. Rescues in CT miss Ernesto so much, we still drive the 900 miles when there is a dog that we all know only Ernesto can help.
Sight unseen, Ernesto asked to foster and rehabilitate a beautiful Cane Corso mix from horrific cruelty case in California, in which 36 dogs were left to starve to death on a property. This dog, now named Bluebell, is most likely the most well balanced dog in the midwest! He also rehabilitated ( and graciously adopted) a seriously troubled dog, McLovin, with highly unpredictable human aggression, and a very high prey drive, into a balanced and trustworthy canine citizen.
Ernesto has the rare gift of being able to instantly assess a dog's strengths and needs, and he quickly and effectively applies his skills to bring dogs back into balance. It is so interesting and empowering to listen to Ernesto explain the imbalance in the relationship and then work with dog and owner to rebalance the relationship, which leads to enjoyment in the company of your dog, and even more importantly, watching your dog become comfortable and whole.
