How does it work?
Every rescue is different - programs are flexible and built to suit the needs of your unique organization. I have a sample program, with sample contract you can view here, to give you an idea!
Sample Program: The Foster Farm, a foster-based rescue in Pittsburgh, PA.
1. The rescue gets steeply discounted rates for me to coach their staff and volunteers through difficult behavior cases, common adoption barriers, and more.
2. I assist with consulting and matching dogs to families free of charge.
3. The rescue can advertise through my mailing list, and we share each others content on socials to boost engagement, build audiences, and help get pups matched with people near or far.
4. Adopters of TFF get a free session with me, built into the adoption fee.
5. Adopters then can continue training with me for a discounted rate for the lifetime of their dog.
Flexible support, anywhere in the US!
All sessions are conducted virtually, allowing flexible scheduling and support regardless of location. Virtual training allows for quality instruction without many of the hassles and drawbacks of in-person training. Click here for a free pdf on the benefits of virtual dog training! Feel free to share with your volunteers, staff, and adopters. Quality dog training should be easy to access, regardless of where someone is from.
In-Person Workshops and Seminars available on case-by-case basis
Due to the nature of my travel, I might be available to host a private workshop or seminar for your staff and volunteers! I have offered classes on leash handling skills, handling and husbandry for grooming and vet care, recall workshops, and more! Contact me below for more information.
