Welcome to Teacher's Pet: Dogs and Kids Learning Together!
Teacher's Pet: Dogs and Kids Learning Together is an intervention program
that pairs troubled and/or court adjudicated youth with hard-to-adopt shelter
dogs that have been rescued from un-safe environments for a twice a week, ten-week
dog training workshop for the benefit of both youth and dogs. We are very excited
about this unique and innovative program. The students learn the basics of
animal handling, identifying stress in dogs and dog behavior and move into
Dog Obedience 101 using positive training methods with the goal of making the
dogs more adoptable and more likely to stay in their homes. Throughout the
process, the youth gain greater impulse control and patience, experience unconditional
love and acceptance as well as foster a sense of accountability and responsibility.
At the conclusion of the program, the canine graduates will be available for adoption. Be sure to click on Adoptable Dogs to see the current students. If you are interested in adopting one of these lovable and youth-trained dogs, contact Amy Johnson at (248) 930-2909.
