Dog Adoption and Socialization Techniques

Trainer John Garcia works with two rescued hound dogs, Remington and Ruger, to teach them social skills necessary for adoption. The dogs, previously isolated, must learn to interact with other dogs. John separates them to increase their adoption chances, despite their reliance on each other. Remington, the more docile dog, is introduced to new dogs, passing his social test and joining a new pack.
