Your First Hour Home with Your Dog

This is excellent advice for any dog, and especially for shelter and rescue dogs. Some dogs can be overwhelmed by having the run of a new home, right off the bat. I like the emphasis on letting the dog have plenty of opportunity to "use the yard", both before being allowed into the house, and after a little bit of exploring time. Keeping the dog on a leash will help prevent any accidents. I think the thing a majority of people worry about the most when they bring a dog home, is that the dog will "go" in the house. This method pretty much ensures that won't happen. The result is that the owners relax, and a relaxed owner greatly helps the dog to relax. Thanks for a good video.

Excellent advice. I wish I had this info when I brought my adopted dog home last year. Thankful she has turned out well.
