Volunteer Trainers Wanted

[gillbear]

As a part of this shelters continuing aim to improve the enrichment and adoption rates at the shelter they are looking for volunteers to help with implementing an Open Paw program.

This is a great opportunity for anyone who would like to help animals in need while also gaining great experience with a multitude of breeds and crosses.

This simple but effective program helps the animals to learn skills eg. sit and greeting people calmly etc.

As this program is only just beginning at this shelter, they are especially looking for confident handlers who already have some obedience training experience.

Maybe send this to be forwarded through the National Dog Trainers Federation as well. I am sure some of the students would love to get involved.
