Programs
This is our primary mission. Our last Hope Program sends certified canine behaviorists to rescue dogs who have been deemed unadoptable. These dogs are sent through an extensive rehabilitation program focusing on socialization, obedience, and behavior modification.
Once the rescued dog has successfully completed their rehabilitation they are then placed in a Forever Home. The adopting family is given extensive training to teach proper handling and communication by a certified behavior specialist. And the family also has access to the trainer for the life of the dog.
Last Wag Workshops
We offer Last Wag workshops enrichment programs at your organization. Our workshops are designed to teach your staff and volunteers how to handle the dogs in your facility on a daily basis.
We will conduct an individual assessment of each of your shelter dogs, teach your crew the proper way to move dogs throughout the facility, how to provide enrichment within the kennel, grouping or color-coding dogs based on temperament, and most importantly how to implement a universal line of communication understood by your staff, and dogs, alike.
The size of your staff and the number of dogs in your facility will determine the number of days we spend on-site!
Last Wag Adviserships
We offer Last Wag adviserships to shelter personnel and volunteers. The focus is, and will always be, working with shelter animals.
By increasing the understanding of canine behavior, the effects of sheltering, and how to communicate with our counterparts we can enhance the quality of life for those dogs in care, and save lives!
Our adviserships focus on the implementation of daily playgroups, and teaching boundaries and manners through a structured kennel program, and maybe most importantly, leash etiquette.
