Welcome to Open Paw Training. This training is the first of many that are being designed by an expert specifically for our volunteers and staff. HHS is investing in our community in support of the Open Paw mission to reduce the number of dogs surrendered each year. Your participation is truly appreciated!
HHS is requiring that this class be completed by all individuals who interact with dogs. The initial training is hosted by an outside dog trainer that has been contracted by HHS. The training is hands-on and will take place outside in the courtyard, so dress weather appropriate.
Successful completion of the training is required, in addition to volunteer orientation, before registering for a Potty Walk volunteer shift. All current volunteers and staff are required to complete this training within 60 days.
Please contact volunteers@halifaxhumanesociety.org if you have any questions or issues.
