We get so many questions of the same nature that we would like to offer useful tips to help you and your new family member adjust to each other.  Our BRSM authority, Sue, has kindly offered to address issues and answer questions of a general nature that may be of help to you, as well as to others.  She does not, however, give advice on aggression, and would recommend that you consult a behaviorist.  Remember, training only works if you spend the time doing it.  If you have a question, please e-mail sue@beaglemaryland.org.

BRSM note:  In response to questions we have been receiving, "No, the picture above is not a PhotoShop composite."  :-)    It is an actual photo of Sue's dogs, taken in a studio with onlookers.  Four of these dogs are rescues.
