For shelters and rescues.

The Reset is a chapter from Before You Say Yes to the Dog, written for the exact moment a family calls a shelter because the first weeks with a dog have gone badly: what to do when it’s not working, why a bad week isn’t a bad dog, and how to change the system instead of blaming the effort.

It also says plainly when a reset isn’t the answer — some placements should end, and the chapter doesn’t pretend otherwise. That honesty is the point: a family that trusts the material is more likely to act on it, whichever way it points.
