Hi Amber,
So at LTBHS with training new people in the kennel attendant position, we typically have the newbie start by shadowing other attendants who have been here the longest and know the procedures best. Often we simply start with them cleaning the smaller, easier sections and then gradually teach them the more things like how to prep the food and of course giving medications. Usually they'll only be paired with another kennel attendant for the first 2 weeks before we have them do sections on their own. And of course another attendant will always be available for the new person to ask questions or bring up concerns to. And as far as PPE protocol and disease control we typically teach them as it comes up, mostly because we don't want to overload them with information right at the beginning.
