Hands-on training for improving your skills.

Groups are small to allow for full participation. Campers receive expert coaching for improving handling skills and bevals, for creating successful adoption programs, tried and true techniques for keeping kenneled dogs healthy and happy, ways to identify the best adoption candidates, and developing effective outreach programs to help turn the tide for the dogs in our communities.
