adopting a scared dog.

[@jungersrules]

I work for a rescue that helps Korean dogs get adopted in the US, and we require adopters to sign up for training because of where our dogs come from (very traumatic, difficult situations). Not surprised that Poppy has some Jindo, lol. Most Korean dogs have some! People need to understand that if you are going to adopt a dog and expect the dog to be a confident (ie, not have issues like separation anxiety), well adjusted and well behaving dog, that you should look at things from their point of view. Best way to help them is to do what Wah and Weylie did by getting a trainer. Our #1 rule is to let the dog decompress by not hovering over them, minimum touching/eye contact for the first 3 days. Just let them adjust and explore their new environment on their own for those 3 days. Don't think there is something wrong if they aren't all affectionate right away, or seem like they are depressed. It's just like how people act in a new environment. We need time to adjust. Like Wah said, take it SLOW!

[@368chen]

Wah, your Spanish is legit! The waiter had no trouble in understanding you at all! Navi finally has another fur sibling. Welcome Poppy to your forever home!

[@WahWu]

Had to bust it out y'know?

[@368chen]

Still impressive, like when I see Caucasians speak Chinese even better than I can, especially Cantonese.

[@alexisabrew5707]

That pup is so lucky! Ya’ll are awesome. I love the positive energy

[@freshyx3]

cheers to adopting a rescue! my dog was rescued from a hoarding situation. he is very shy and skittish but has blossomed so much over the years. my vet said his reactivity will never go away completely but it can be managed with patience, training, and structure to his schedule. it was difficult in the beginning but I wouldn’t trade him for the world!!!

[@WahWu]

glad you had the patience to work with him. I learned a lot fro m getting Navi so nothing will be difficult for me anymore LOL

[@bieberlovers227]

Congratulations on the new addition to your family :) She is beautiful and seems like a sweet girl. Poppy is going to blossom as part of your family, you guys are the best furr baby parents. Now I am craving chilaquiles at midnight lol thank you!

[@stephh1228]

[@thelifeofluffy]

omg so happy to see a new puppers in the wahlie family 🥺😭♥️♥️♥️

[@cnicole_]

El Tepeyac is a restaurant my dad absolutely loves and always took us growing up! Love that you guys also enjoy it! Also welcome poppy🫶🏽🤍🩷

[@martha5434]

Aww thank you for adopting poppy. She is definitely going to be so loved. We are considering adopting another dog since we want an older dog. Unfortunately, haven't had any luck as most older dogs we've looked into are questionable around other dogs and kids. We have a 5yr old 100 pound German shepherd and 3 kids who are preteens and a teenager.. however we are surrounded by baby nieces and nephews.. we haven't had any luck in our search but love seeing stories of adoptions ❤

[@martha5434]

I would love any advice on adopting!

[@martha5434]

Just to add our German shepherd is the sweetest boy ever. We brought him home at 12 weeks old ages ago and he grew up with 3 boys.. also still surrounded by babies and children til this day.. so he is still used to it... We just want another older dog (adopt because we don't want to do the whole puppy stage) but would love meet a older dog who would need a loving home surrounded by loving people

[@proudlakerfan]

I give you an A+ for going to a Mexican restaurant so you can promote Rosetta Stone. Real slick! 😂😂 Seriously though, El Tepeyac's food is good and they come in huge portions. My co-workers and I used to go there for lunch since our office is located in East LA. And that guy is right, Boyle Heights used to be a Jewish area back in the day.

[@aMaezing_Mae5]

We love Poppy already 💕& Navi is such a good sister !!! 🥹🥹🥹 she definitely learned that from her sisters ( Michi&Money ) I totally see it . 🤍

[@suaoaht1981]

Awww congrats on the new addition! Welcome Poppy :)

[@finding13emo]

aw she's so cuuteeee

[@heidiwluv]

oh she’s gonna be so loved 🥹❤️

[@veronicatorreez]

I accidentally rewinded to the part where weylie reads 7% chihuahua and cracked up at the little laugh wah does 🤭🤣

[@WahWu]

LOL

[@izzaweihaas]

Congratulations on Poppy!! She’s so darling

[@iamlorenb]

Wah it's such a Girl Fur Dad, I smiled when he said "she" . I'm like it's "another Girl!!"😁 Congratulations Waylie and Wah! 🥳🎉

[@moofeyy]

lol at first when you gasped, i thought Poppy was half shiba inu (like a mix of both money and michi) but I googled Jindo, i can see where I assumed that from. she's adorable and i'm happy for you both!

[@daboomlife]

Just an fyi, the leg pop at 12:37 in combination with her giving you the whale eye is a sign that she’s uncomfortable with the way you’re approaching her! Even though it looks like she’s asking for belly rubs, my dog used to do the same thing until I realized the actually body language he was giving me. If they seem relaxed and open up their body more, then that’s a sign that they consent to you coming closer. Poppy is so sweet!

[@ani9603]

WELCOME POPPY!!!❤❤❤❤❤

[@MoeMaiSue]

Congrats on the new pop! Poppy is so cute!! What’s her story?

[@pennytan393]

[@xblackchristmas]

"Inflammation" hahaha it is! Baccali is an OG spot. I also wouldn't have guessed anything right from the DNA test. Anytime I see those eyebrows I think Rottweilers

[@x1asheratmidnight1x]

Poppy is so stinking cute! And I love seeing dog dna test results. I’m in the r/doggydna subreddit a lot and Wisdom Panel is notorious for being hypersensitive and throwing in random rare breeds at low percentages. Embark would group less-confident breed results into a group called “super mutt” or detect them as some kind of village dog! From these results my guess is Poppy is half Jindo and half Korean village dog!

[@raymunddevega]

ok wah and his Spanish!
