This training will build on topics and techniques discussed in previous trainings. Please ensure you have attended both Safe Handling and Leash Skills before signing up for this opportunity.
Are you interested in helping our shelter pets learn tricks and techniques that will help them be more well-mannered and help them get adopted? Then this training opportunity is for you!
Participants will work with our Behavior Team to understand cues and techniques for teaching dogs (and maybe even cats) how to sit, leave-it, lay down, and settle. After successfully completing this training, volunteers can participate in Training Walks and work on these important skills with resident pets. These opportunities provide mental stimulation for our pets and help them learn skills and manners that will help them get adopted and stay adopted!
Please reach out to volunteers@halifaxhumanesociety.org with any questions.
