Welcome
to Teacher's Pet: Dogs and Kids Learning Together!
We are very excited
about this unique and innovative program that pairs at-risk youth from the Kingsley
Montgomery School in Waterford with shelter dogs, which have been rescued from
un-safe environments, for a twice a week, ten-week dog training workshop. The
students first learn the basics of animal handling, identifying stress in dogs
and why it's important to be able to put yourself in the dog's paws' and move
into Obedience 101 using the clicker training. The students will work with the
dogs on performing common dog actions including:sit, stay,
down, leave it, drop it, how to walk on a leash, not jumping on people
and more.
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. Sign
