Training for Animal Shelters
Does your shelter need to increase revenue?
Are you concerned about your adoptability and return numbers?
Have you considered adding a Certified Professional Dog Trainer to your staff?
Shelter training and enrichment programs are highly successful in reducing signs of stress and anxiety, while encouraging human bonding and promoting calm, predictable behaviour. This allows the dog to not only present their best-self to potential adopters but creates a positive and safe work environment for staff. Animal Shelters with in-house Professional Dog Trainers have a proven history of increasing adopt-ability, reducing return rates, and improving the quality of life for dogs living within the kennel environment. They also have the added benefit of increasing public awareness by offering training to the community, in additional to providing another revenue stream to better support the animals in care.
Don’t have your own in-house Certified Professional Dog Trainer? Why not train from within?
Canine Foundations Training Academy provides students with the knowledge and practical experience required to qualify for the CCPDT Knowledge Assessed exam, pass their rigorous standards for knowledge and skills in science-based dog training, and achieve CPDT-KA certification. The course outline is specifically developed to cater to the demanding schedule of professionals, providing them with the ability to achieve their educational goals while maintaining their current full-time job.
Improve your adoptions today by training a member of your staff to become a Professional Dog Trainer and increase your canine population’s mental stimulation, promote the development of healthy coping mechanisms, provide constructive energy outlets, and reduce problematic behaviours.
If you have a Kennel Manager or other qualified staff member that you would like to have certified as a Professional Dog Trainer, consider Canine Foundations as your training partner.
