This is a free online mini-workshop to help you prepare for your Team Evaluation and beyond. We'll focus on handling skills that are required for good teamwork in visiting situations. Then we'll review the skills by talking through different scenarios to prepare you to think on your feet. Everything we talk about can be applied broadly to any species and all breeds. Every animal is different, but good handling skills can be universal. We'll go deeper into the concepts of PETS being your animal's best advocate (YAYABA), proactive handling, and what they actually look like when you're out together in public. There is no charge for this mini-workshop. Please go directly to petpartners.org to register.  You will need to sign up for a free volunteer page if you don't have one already and log in.  You will then see 6 blue boxes.  Click on Courses and Events and go to The Training Center.  Click the brown box that says Sign up.  Youâll see three more boxes:  click Handler.  Three more boxes: click Workshops. Two more boxes: click By Location.  Under Online Classes, Mountain Time, click on Available Classes.
