Dogs are good at accepting things as they are. So they will accept the new home and get used to it quickly. My dog Shelley still remembers me. I gave her to my ex-husband, but I go and visit her once in a while, so I think that helps her remember. I think it will remember them for a while, but it will quickly get used to the new people.

It is the biggest challenge I face with my clients, whether they come for animal communication or for training. The technical word is anthropomorphising. We tend to apply human though processes to dogs. Dog remember the past, but usually have moved beyond it. They don't think like "I had some trauma when I was 2 and that is why I'm the way I am now." They do not use trauma as an excuse but it certainly colors their responses. Dogs do not do things to punish us. Dogs react. Its just who they are. It is our responsiblity as dog "owners" to recognize they they WILL react and anticipate their reactions and provide them with positive outlets, boundaries, rules and limitation. Very good Post!

Lots of use human beings tend to lend human behaviors to animal, and when we try to teach them using these, we get angry because they don't understand or don't react as expected. It's like the dog rolling on the floor with belly up and peeing in one's face: that's not being insolent or provoking, or punishing the owner through an obscene behavior, it's just a very, very frightened dog.
