Volunteers click to show or hide staff
All Clever Canines' Volunteers are past graduates of our core 10-Week Program. This is a way for past 10-week group class graduates to "pay it forward" for all the help they received during their classes.
By volunteering, our past graduates are able to really get a feel for a range of different dogs and different issues. It is also a great way to audit the class without the distraction of their own dogs. Past volunteers have said this experience is rewarding, challenging and really benefited them with their own dogs. It is also a fresh way to get involved with other dogs, grow confidence, better understand canine body language/communication, perfect skills, add to their "tools", as well as regain motivation to work at home with their own dogs.
For Fall 2010, we would like to thank the following individuals for their time, hard work and dedication to their own dogs as well as those they have helped.
