From Seoul to San Francisco: Sarah Jung’s Journey in Dog Training

In a small town outside Seoul, Korea, Sarah Jung‘s passion for dog training took her on an incredible journey across continents. Her story is one of dedication, learning, and a deep commitment to improving the lives of rescue dogs.

Learning the American Way:

Sarah’s quest for knowledge led her to the United States, where she immersed herself in the world of dog training. At Highland Canine Dog Training, she learned diverse techniques, from using E-collars to positive reinforcement with treats. Her time in San Francisco volunteering at the SPCA further solidified her love for rescue dogs and the positive training methods that help them find forever homes.

Bringing Change to Korea:

Returning to Korea, Sarah faced the challenge of transforming the local dog culture. With facilities often focused solely on basic care, she found a home at Rebel Rescue, where training and socialization are prioritized. Her work with dogs like Scooby, rescued from dog farms, highlights the potential for change and the importance of understanding canine behavior.

Cultural Shifts and Challenges:

Sarah’s insights into the evolving dog culture in Korea reveal a society in transition. From viewing dogs as mere protectors to embracing them as family members, the shift is palpable. Yet, challenges remain, especially with the impending ban on dog meat farms and the need for experienced trainers to guide these dogs into new lives.
