Volunteer Handler - Introduction to Kennels & Classroom Training Assistance

This class is an introduction to our campus, procedures, and protocols. It’s designed for Volunteer Handlers who are ready to take the next step in their training.

You’ll learn:

• Safety protocols: PPE, bite-risk awareness, dog-to-dog/dog-to-human spacing, safe movement through doors and aisles

• Kennel procedures: cleaning sequence, sanitation standards, supplies, labeling, and waste handling

• Classroom procedures: setup/tear-down, traffic flow, handling reactive or stressed dogs, and supporting instructors

• Incident reporting: what to document, who to notify, and where to find form

You must be an approved Volunteer Handler (background/onboarding already completed) to participate.  Interested in becoming a Volunteer Handler at the Dog Alliance, let us know!
