Volunteers

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 class.

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 without the distraction of their own dog.  Past volunteers have said this experience was rewarding, challenging, and really benefited them with their own dog.  It is also a fresh way to get involved with other dogs, grow confidence, better understand canine body language/communication, perfect skills, add to "tools", as well as regain motivation to work with their own dog. 

For Fall 2009, we would like to thank for following individuals for their time, hard work, and dedication to their own dogs as well as those they have helped. (Listed alphabetically by first name.)
