Observe animal behavior to determine what animals would be suitable to kennel together. Perform safe cat-testing (through glass) to determine if a dog is friendly with cats, and vice versa. Test for trained behaviors (sit, down, stay, etc.) so they can be listed as assets for the animal to be more attractive to potential adopters.
Many shelter dogs come to us with little or no training. Leash manners, basic commands or even fun tricks can make a big impression on potential adopters. At the OKC Animal Shelter we use treats, praise and slip leads in dog training. We don't allow prong collars, choke chains, shock collars or negative reinforcement. Please contact us today if you have experience in dog training.Volunteer Orientation is required for all new volunteers. The calendar for orientations can be found here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1WxNzMTX8ba4mRJ0PSPWmmbn05nkLsuHr/view
