Hi, Clare! Here is a list my former team and I compiled with some ideas for increasing adoptions for animals in care! ------------------------------ Heather Kalman (she/her), CPDT-KA, SBA, ABCDT Embedded Data Coordinator American Pets Alive!, Human Animal Support Service ------------------------------

We use GoodPup and love it! We have used it with staff (in helping them deal with more difficult dogs here at the shelter) as well as with our fosters and adopters. It's been a great resource to have. ------------------------------ Erin Ellis Community Engagement Director Humane Society of Truckee-Tahoe --------- Foster Program & Volunteer Management Specialist ------------------------------

We are a small rescue in Idaho and don't have many options for trainers that are willing to work with behaviors in dogs that come into rescue and the few that do, are too expensive. We recently joined with GoodPup an at-home, video chat training service. We are really excited about this partnership and hope it will be the answer to our training dilema for both the rescue and our adopters. Has anyone used this service? Would be very interested in hearing about success stories. ------------------------------ read more
