School for the Dogs Fund

Our Mission

School For The Dogs is committed to transforming the lives of dogs and their owners with access to qualified professionals teaching proven science-based, positive reinforcement training methods.

Our Objectives:

-Educate the public about canine learning methods and behaviors. We’re committed to using our platform and the platforms of like minded trainers to create content made with the goal of informing the public about how to train using non-aversive, reward-based techniques.

-Facilitate access to certified dog trainers by pairing trainers with dog owners in need. Trainer time is either donated or paid for through the fund. We believe that the opportunity to work with a good dog trainer can help people from relinquishing dogs to shelters because of behavior-based issues.

-Offer scholarships to those aspiring to be professional trainers looking for help funding their education.

-Support mission-driven dog trainers by publicizing their businesses. Our goal is to highlight the work of outstanding trainers through recognition posts and awards, and to help veterinarians make informed suggestions when recommending trainers in their areas.
