Internal-facing Dog Behavior Resources:
GoodPup Partnership Program: GoodPup is a national positive-reinforcement dog training service with a free partnership program designed to support rescue organizations. GoodPup matches clients with professional dog trainers for video training sessions. Through the partnership program, dog owners in your community receive a free week of training followed by an exclusive discount, and your rescue receives referral donations for each customer. Visit https://goodpup.com/shelters or email shelters@goodpup.com to become a partner. This program is offered at no cost to shelters and rescues.
GoodPup Webinars: GoodPup's free webinar series covers topics such as body language, enrichment, compassion resilience, leash reactivity and more. These webinars are free and accessible to everyone in your community including staff, volunteers, fosters, and adopters. View recordings here: https://goodpup.com/webinar-series
GoodPup Scholarships: Have you been looking for a way for donors to sponsor dog training for dogs in your care? GoodPup Scholarships are gift certificates that donors or shelters can buy to give pre-purchased GoodPup training to adopters, foster parents, or surrender prevention clients. Dogs that enroll with GoodPup Scholarships are routed to senior trainers. When specialized training is needed, our behavior team creates customized behavior treatment plans for these dogs. If a behavior plan is created, we share that with the rescue that provided the scholarship. To learn more, please visit https://goodpup.com/shelters/order-scholarships or email shelters@goodpup.com.
External-facing Dog Behavior Resources:
For website/email:
GoodPup provides our adopters, fosters, and community members with convenient, affordable, science-based dog training. GoodPup training is fast and effective, because it's designed for how dogs (and dog parents) learn. Their trainers are fully invested in you and your dog. Chat with them anytime, as much as you need. They are there to provide individualized support, advice, and motivation, and are as excited as you are to celebrate your dog's transformation. The best part? All rescue adopters get discounted rates and GoodPup donates to our rescue for every person who signs up for training!

Subject: May Resource Drive: Behavior / Training
The focus for our resource drive this month is dog & cat behavior / training!
Since effective training involves shelter/rescue staff/volunteers and the pet parent, we are collecting resources that can be shared either internally with staff and volunteers or externally with members of your community. We're looking to share everything with regard to behavior - SOPs, training materials, kennel signs, behavior plans, etc.
You Can Participate In Two Ways:
1. Upload/Share Behavior or Training Resources on this thread
2. Reply with a request for a specific Behavior or Training Resource you NEED
What Type of Resources Should You Share?
- External-facing (e.g., handouts on resource guarding, educational webcasts for the public, on-site or virtual training opportunities your organization offers, etc.)
- Internal-facing (e.g., training protocols for staff/volunteers, SOPs, monitoring forms, behavior modification protocols, welfare assessments, etc.)
Where Will All the Behavior/Training Resources be Stored? How do I view them?
We have several folders in the MPF Resource Library. Click on the links below to open the folders and view the resources. We will continue to add to these folders as members share their resources.
Share & You'll Be Entered To Win $50
Everyone who uploads a file, shares a resource on this thread or replies with information on behavior/training that your organization offers during the month of May will be entered to win a $50 gift card to Amazon, Petco or PetSmart (winner's choice). Start sharing now!
Pro-Tips for sharing resources:
- Use the "Upload File" button when replying to this thread to attach a file. We encourage you to attach the file versus hyperlinking to the file whenever possible. Files that are attached to discussion threads are automatically added to the Maddie's Pet Forum Resource Library so attaching helps make the resource searchable and improves accessibility within the forum.
- Yes, you can share resources that your organization did not create. Sharing is caring and this applies to resources too! Make sure the creator allows the resource to be shared publicly and be sure to give credit to the creator or source organization.
