Patience is a virtue with normal dog training and training terriers requires even more patience. Training a rescued terrier may require even more patience than that. Owning a pet is a big commitment in itself. Taking on a rescue dog may be more than you bargained for.Many rescued dogs have been badly treated or poorly socialized by former owners. Patience and skill are needed to train these dogs

Foreword by Veronica Hudak-Moe My initial reason for joining PCTC was to become a foster home. The turning point in my decision to become a foster home came after reading a post that was made to the Cairn-List by Lynda Hammel.
