    Last Chance at Life Rescue

    Last Chance at Life is an all-breed rescue and adoption organization. Their rescues come to them from local shelters and humane societies, owners who can no longer properly care for them, and sometimes through other rescue groups. Most often these animals are facing euthanasia because of medical or behavioral needs. Because of this, they are truly their Last Chance at Life.

    Dog Sense Dog Training brings a new approach to communication between you and your best friend. Our canine companions are amazing creatures, however, they speak a very different language than us humans. Dogs do not communicate with words or sentences so, in order to help them understand what is expected of them, WE need to speak THEIR language.
