To start learning without delay, find our supplemental training handbook linked below that is packed with information from our training workshop and real-world examples from existing pet programs across the nation.
In-Person Training
These community-based interactive training workshops are offered in-person to foster collaboration between local human service providers and animal welfare experts. Our primary goal is to establish and strengthen these relationships to ensure the success of your newly-minted pet programs.
