Training Philosophy
Harriet Zucker strongly believes in positive reinforcement based training. We believe that it is important to teach animals what to do rather than what not to do. When dogs are properly trained they are more successful in their homes and happier too!

Our mission at Red Hook Dog Rescue is too rescue well, rather than rescue big. We are personally involved in the entire process, from behavior evaluations, training, fostering to adoptions; we accompany the animals we take into our care along their journey. We believe that all animals deserve a chance and we do not give up on our animals regardless of their limitations. Red Hook Dog Rescue is a special needs dog rescue, we typically take animals with limitations such as deafness, blindness, behavioral issues, and of course seniors! We make sure our animals receive the best veterinary care and training so that when they come to you they are the best they can be.
