Puppy WalkersSunday, April 27, 2008 - Thursday, December 31, 2009WHAT: To be successful, the dogs need to practice skills in “real” situations. Volunteers take the dogs out of the prison for training - to restaurants, veterinarian appointments, malls, movies, and bus rides, anything to acclimate them to the world they will live in.
Volunteers must attend training sessions to learn how to handle the dogs in public and what to work on during each outing. The minimum requirement is an understanding of the science of operant conditioning (clicker training), using lure and reward methods, or with the permission of the Volunteer Coordinator.
Your involvement can be as little or as much as you desire or your schedule permits. In the beginning of their training, the pups will need to go out only once or twice a month. As they get further along, they’ll need to practice in public on a more regular basis. It does not have to be the same volunteer for each outing, so any commitment will be helpful.
Foster Home VolunteersSunday, April 27, 2008 - Thursday, December 31, 2009Raise a donated puppy or dog for a period as short as overnight, a few weeks, or as long as 4 or 5 months. You’ll expose your foster pup to “real life” – socialize to people,places and things. At the end of this period, the puppy is
brought to the prison for training for up to 18 months.
