I wonder the same about our bigger dog. She was well trained when she was adopted so obviously someone cared for her enough to teach commands.

My first dog was rescued from an abusive home, so potty-training was long and painful.

My new dog was adopted at six months, and she was already well-trained.

She was also classified as being from an abusive home.

It's hard to say. I agree--would love to know their lives before I met them.
