We Want to Partner with Trainers and K9 Handlers!
Wounded Paw Project is a nonprofit that was established in 2009. We are an organization dedicated to providing dogs with the opportunity to have a second chance at life, or to have a second tale. Our mission is to provide rescued shelter and stray dogs with loving family’s – along with training, veterinary care, rehabilitation, and placement services – so they can become loving companions for people who need them most.
In order to continue our vital work of rescuing homeless dogs from shelters across the country and placing them into homes where they will become cherished members of the family, while also helping cuntless individuals heal emotionally through their interactions and relationships with these pups we need your help! We are looking for trainers and K9 handlers to volunteer their time and expertise to assist in providing training and rehabilitation services so we can continue helping these animals in need.
How Trainers and K9 Handlers Can Help
Have you ever wanted to make a difference in the world? Dog trainers and K9 Handlers are an integral part of our team at Wounded Paw Project. We work with these two groups of people to train dogs that have come from difficult backgrounds for new homes, as well as provide assistance to other dog-related organizations around the country. Dog trainers and K9 Handlers can help us give dogs a second chance by volunteering their time!
We are looking for trainers and K9 handlers that can assist with:
- Basic Obedience Training: When it comes to simple obedience training, we're searching for experts who can help us teach dogs that have not yet mastered their intermediate skills or have recently mastered them and need assistance in perfecting them. This instruction is designed to improve the dog's abilities, ensuring that he is stable and obedient even when faced with a variety of distractions.
- Advanced Dog Training: We are also looking for dog trainers and K9 handlers that have the skills needed to help with advanced dog training. This advanced training allows your dog to use his brain and body in coordination, improving their confidence as well as the bond between you!
- Behavioral Issues: Behavioral training is geared towards unwinding years of behavioral issues within your dog. This is ideal for rehabilitating dogs who have separation anxiety, aggression, or other behavioral issues that require a sort of “rewiring” of the brain to unlearn bad habits.
- Aggressive Dog Training: Wounded Paw Project is also looking for trainers and K9 handlers who have experience with aggressive dog training. This type of training is used to help dogs who have been through traumatic experiences and may suffer from PTSD. Dog trainers with this type of expertise can also help these pups learn proper socialization skills so they know how to act in front of people and other animals, while we work towards desensitizing them during their rehabilitation process.
- Therapy Dog Development: When we first started Wounded Paw Project our goal was to rehabilitate shelter dogs and provide them with the proper training needed to become service animals for people with disabilities and suffering from the traumas of war. And while we have expanded our efforts since then, we are still searching for dog trainers and K9 handlers with this type of experience to help us do just that! Dog trainers, such as yourself, provide the initial training for our dogs to become therapy dogs during their rehabilitation process so they will be ready when we place them into homes where they'll serve as a companion and support system for those in need.
