🐾 Welcome to a New Adoption

Duration: 1 hour per session
Location of practical sessions: Finca WOW Dogtrainer Fenya, Pje. Cabezos Sau, 10 – Adeje

🎉 A new beginning full of respect, trust and guidance

Congratulations on your new adventure!
Welcoming an adopted dog is an act of love that transforms lives.
Our Welcome to a New Adoption program is carefully designed to accompany you in this new stage, creating from day one the foundations for a happy and balanced coexistence.

We understand that every adopted dog has a unique story and may arrive with special emotional needs. That is why our approach is based on:

• Empathy and respect

• Two-way communication

• Positive reinforcement, free of punishments or invasive techniques

• A vision focused on the emotional well-being of the dog and the handler

📚 What does the program include?

The program consists of 5 personalized sessions, distributed as follows:

🏠 2 Theoretical Sessions at Home

We start at your home, to establish theoretical and practical foundations adapted to your environment and routine.

🧘 Stress Reduction Therapy (TRE)

Stress impacts learning and behaviour.
We will work on creating a safe environment and calming strategies (reference zone, breaks, predictable routine) to reduce cortisol and allow your dog to learn in an optimal emotional state.

📋 Coverage of essential needs

We will help you properly cover their physiological, mental, and social needs:

• Rest and routines: structure and predictability to generate security

• Nutrition: feeding that supports their physical and emotional balance

• Mental and olfactory stimulation: scent games to activate the cortex and manage emotions

• Structured play: as an educational and bonding tool

• Being alone: prevent or manage separation anxiety

• Quality walks: walk without tension, sniffing, and exploration

• Canine communication: reading signals of calm, stress, and threat

• Clear human communication: avoid frustration, improve interaction

• Coexistence with other household members: integration with dogs, children or other pets

🐕‍🦺 3 Practical Sessions at the WOW Farm

We will apply what we have learned in a safe, structured and distraction-free environment, to strengthen the bond and work on key skills:

🧠 Building fundamental skills

Practical techniques to form Emotional Management Tools (HGE) and Adaptive Triple Projection Strategies (ETP).

📞 The call

A key tool for the dog's safety and emotional reference.

🔁 Attention redirection towards the handler

So that the dog looks to you as a solution when faced with a stimulus that causes conflict, and moderates its level of emotional activation.

🧘 Control and self-control exercises

The dog learns to manage impulses by choice, not by imposition.

🎲 Play and environment

We will integrate play and simple obstacles as cognitive and emotional stimulation.

👃 Olfactory stimulation

Search exercises to activate the cerebral cortex and self-regulate emotions.

🐾 Social skills (if the process allows)

Controlled exposure to other dogs or stimuli with the support of tutor dogs, to practice safe and adaptive interactions.
