"Pooch Prep Class"

Pooch Prep

Pooch Prep is a training class, taught by a Certified Pet Dog Trainer, specifically designed for our resident dogs. Volunteers and staff are encouraged to sign up for the class - which runs each Sunday of the month -with one of our in-house dogs.

The focus of this class is on teaching the dog the foundation skills of attention on their handler; sit-stay at the door; proper greetings with people (no jumping); loose leash walking and a trick or two!

Current volunteers can sign up to volunteer for this class by email.

Never volunteered before? Fill out our volunteer application and our Volunteer Coordinator will contact you and get you started.
