Why Shelters Partner With Canine Consultants

As a shelter, rescue, or other form of animal welfare organization, you likely have your pick of behavior consultants, trainers, or enthusiastic, well-meaning people who want to help; So why partner with Canine Consultants?

The short answer? We have real-world experience in busy shelters.

But you don’t want to just hear the short answer, so really, why should you partner with us? Canine Consultants is a force multiplier. What’s that? Wikipedia defines a force multiplier as factor or a combination of factors that gives personnel the ability to accomplish greater feats than without it. At Canine Consultants, we have first-hand knowledge of, and experience with the needs your organization has. We have rewritten handbooks for canine care in shelters, and developed, implemented, conducted, and overseen volunteer training programs for both new and existing volunteers.

We have experience organizing and running adoption events, fundraisers, and volunteer appreciation programs and events. We have leadership experience from the military, emergency services, and the shelter world, positioning us as being uniquely qualified to identify leadership bottlenecks, and can coach your management team on how to avoid or overcome them. Along the way, we have developed a network of people who care about helping animals as much as we do - a network that we’re not only happy to leverage for your benefit, but it’s a network of great people who are happy to help us. We have worked with many shelters, rescues, animal care facilities, city animal control departments, police departments, and individuals to care for, re-home, and rehabilitate dogs, as well as provided training for staff and volunteers to enable them to be safer and more comfortable while doing this work. If we can’t help you solve the problem on our own, we know where to go to get the help we need to do so.

If this all sounds good to you, please review our Shelter/Rescue Consultation page for a more detailed description of how we can help your organization. From there, you can find an even more detailed page of all of our class offerings. If you do not see what you’re looking for, that does not mean we can’t help. Some needs are very specific, or too general to list. To discuss how you feel Canine Consultants can be a force multiplier for your organization, please Contact us.
