I would recommend this training to anyone interested in learning more about the link between animals and domestic violence. This training not only gives information, but gives hope. You are able to see how organizations all around the WORLD are working towards a better future for all. Presenters were so open and clear about wanting to help and answer any questions. Absolutely lovely job.

I loved the energy of the trainers. . . This was the most informative training I've been a part of since wanting to start taking pets into the shelters.
