Humane Training Alliance
Shelter Behavior Consultants
The objective of the Humane Training Alliance is to assist in finding qualified animal professionals. We have created a searchable web directory to guide the public to skilled individuals who prioritize modern, ethical approaches to animal training and handling. Through outreach and education, we aim to simplify the search for qualified professionals that will foster the relationship between you and your companion.
This approach to training is both ethical and effective. Instead of using punishment to suppress behavior, we change behavior by setting them up for success and using rewards to address the underlying emotions and functions of the behavior. Based on current scientific evidence, The American College for Veterinary Behaviorists recommends that only reward-based training methods are used for all training, including the treatment of behavior problems.
This project so far has cost $4,312, and projected costs for the first year are $6,000. Our contract with our awesome web developer is $250 a month for the first year. The other costs include material printing and distribution. We are distributing rack cards and business cards to shelters, vet offices, and pet stores across the state. We plan to start with Michigan and later expand to the entire Midwest, and later the entire country. Distribution of materials, managing the website, and approving trainer applications are done by our group of dedicated, unpaid volunteers. Support the Humane Training Alliance in our mission to make finding the right trainer more simple and less risky for animal guardians. Donate to the Humane Training Alliance today!
