Volunteer Trainer Workshop
People Training For Dog Enrichment

This free workshop will teach you enrichment exercises to decrease kennel stress and increase adoptability for dogs in animal shelters. You will learn how to responsibly handle dogs and effectively teach them key behaviors to maximize sociability.

Adoptable dogs will be provided by Phoenix Animal Rescue. Wear "dog clothes" and sneakers. If you have them, bring your clicker and treat pouch.

We use lure-reward & capture-mark clicker training to build volunteers' skill set. You will get hands-on experience with dogs who are available for adoption. If you currently volunteer with a rescue, you will be able to share what you learn to help the dogs you work with. If you are looking for a rescue to volunteer with, they will feel confident knowing that you have attended this workshop. If you have a dog at home, they will enjoy this training as well.
