Teens4Training
Serving Pets and Families
We are a group of local high school students who want to serve our community by offering free dog training workshops. Under the guidance of Michelle Campbell, a professional animal trainer, we have learned dog training techniques and now want to spread our knowledge to new pet owners.
Mission Statement
We serve the community by facilitating a healthy and happy family pet dynamic that encourages a lifestyle of positive reinforcement while promoting the human-animal bond. We want to help ease the transition after adopting a new pet by addressing the hardships of owning a dog, so that you can enjoy all the benefits of owning your animal without these struggles. We promote a life-style of learning with your pet with a fun, proactive approach to animal training.
Goals
We hope to continue to expand our reach to likeminded individuals and organizations to help new dog owners who have adopted from various shelters. As our team expands, so does the number of people we can help!
