Check out our pup approved merchandise on Bonfire and help support the Humane Training Alliance!!! 🐕🐩🐈

We've been hard at work connecting adopters with certified science-based trainers and always need more funds for informational handouts and rack cards that are displayed at shelters and vet clinics!

WOW 🤩
We originally set the goal for 25 shirts/hoodies sold and surpassed it on day 3 of the campaign! We raised it to 50 👕 and we are now only 7 items away from that goal, with 6 days still left 🤯
We are blown away by the support for our project!
We also had so much great feedback at two events this past weekend, so we are really feeling the love 🥰
Thanks everyone for making this dream a reality, and spreading the word about progressive & modern approaches to animal training and behavior modification! 😽

Douglas spent some time as the greeter at Humane Society of Huron Valley before being adopted this week! 🎉🎉🎉

He enjoyed connecting visitors with the Humane Training Alliance and he's excited to share that our training resource is making it's way to trainers and adopters across the state!

Many shelters and rescues are using our printed materials to provide adopters with the information for qualified, professional trainers. We are still collecting donations to help fund this ongoing cost:

If you know a positive reinforment trainer that is not yet listed on our site, feel free to pass along our information! Together we can help keep animals in their homes and help adopters find the right trainers! ️🐾✨️

You all remember our volunteer Duchess?! She was finally adopted from the Humane Society of Huron Valley this week! 😊🎉🐾

Duchess from the Humane Society of Huron Valley is working an important job today of giving out our HTA rack cards! She has some important things to say…
📣🐶

✨HTA needs to raise some funds to purchase more printed material! Please consider donating to the GoFundMe, link in bio!

✨If your business or organization would like some printed material to give out, please go to the “Support Us” page on the HTA website, click on the “Get Print Materials” button and fill out the form!

✨ If you are a trainer and would like to get a free listing on the website, please go to the footer on the website and click “Get Listed” to fill out an application!

✨ I am the sweetest couch potato looking for my forever home! I would enjoy a home without other dogs or young children so I can live my happiest life. I love to lay around and cuddle but I also enjoy a nice stroll in the park. If you think we could be a good match stop in and say hi, not to toot my own horn but I think it would be love at first sight! 💞

📣NEW TRAINER APPLICATION PROCESS!📣

We’re still new and looking to improve our process. We heard some concerns over the lengthy application to join the website, and have adjusted some things on our end.

It’ll now only take you about 2 minutes to apply if you already hold a dog training certification.
We’ll continue to evolve as needed as we work to make this resource as useful as possible. We sincerely thank every supporter and applicant we’ve had so far, and hope this change will encourage more to join the Humane Training Alliance.

Listing with the HTA is and always will be FREE! Our goal is simply to make modern and ethical dog training the norm. We are volunteer run and do not profit from this project. We do have ongoing expenses and gladly accept donations.

If you haven’t already, please apply now at https://humanetraining.org/trainers-application/
