Kit Perry has trained hundreds of shelter dogs as well as taught hundreds of volunteers and several Animal Behavior College students how to train shelter dogs. Check out these adorable photos of shelter dogs learning to sit, lie down, stay, and walking on a loose leash. Reward-based methods are used to train all of these skills! This makes it fun for the shelter dogs and the trainers alike!
