PETS IN NEED’S POSITION ON TRAINING
As an organization, we believe that positive reinforcement, force-free training is in keeping with our core principles of treating every animal under our care with respect, consideration and dignity. Our staff and volunteer training regimens are focused on providing positive reinforcement training to all of the animals we rescue with the ultimate goal of using the training as a means to an end – helping our better socialized animals find a loving family and a forever home.
