My little sister really wants to volunteer at our local shelter. She can't have a dog where she lives so she's very excited about helping there. We had an orientation session and I was wondering if anyone here had experience with training shelter dogs. They said it helps with their adoption if they know a few basic commands, but didn't offer much insight into how to work with the dogs. We would be working with each dog (varying ages and breeds) for only 10-15 minutes at a time maybe 2 times a week. What I'd like to know is since we won't be able to consistently train, what might work? I'd also like to get her some training books, does anyone know of any books that would be good for a 4th/5th grade reader? I've seen some books mentioned, and am checking them out, but most seem to be a bit above her level. Thanks.
