Every interaction with an animal matters! We can make a positive or negative impact on them with our behavior. In this camp we will learn about the scientific perfective of positive reinforcement training, investigate the biology of dogs and cats, and we’ll get engaged in the mental and physical wellbeing of the animals at HSC and at home! We will spend time with shelter animals, animal ambassadors and each other to become terrific trainers!
