ForceFree Oregon Volunteer Trainers

Volunteer trainers for this special event are experienced professional trainers who own or work for

area training and boarding businesses. Most trainers are certified by industry recognized

certification councils too.

Ask if your volunteer trainer is available for continuing sessions on

specific "problems" you may be having with your new pal.

WHY ARE WE DOING THIS?

Because ForceFree Oregon along with other ForceFree organizations around the world understand

that better relationships and trust with our canine companions begins with communication.

If we can help owners to communicate and understand their dogs better, we know

their dogs may be spared aversive training methods and tools in the future.

By giving the basics of modern,science based training methods, dog owners

can make informed decisions on training and tools such as collars and harness.

Support for new adoptions, especially shelter and rescue pals can help dog owners

handle unexpected behavioral issues, help cut down on returns / surrenders to shelters

and contribute to a dogs happy life. We do this to prevent the use of prong and shock collars on

dogs disguised as training. To inform our communities on the benefits of reward based, positive reinforcment

training methods.

WE DO IT BECAUSE WE LOVE THEM TOO!
