Capital Area Humane Society Dog Parkour Workshop!

Everyone had a lot of fun at our first Dog Parkour (Urban Agility) workshop with Capital Area Humane Society dogs and volunteers! We believe that dog training should be fun for everyone regardless of skill level and experience. Training shelter dogs is often frustrating for volunteers as they don't think they are making progress of succeeding.  Dog parkour is a great activity for shelter dogs because it increases their confidence, builds positive associations with working with people, and tires them out physically and mentally!

We had six awesome dogs and volunteers for this workshop. All the dogs are looking for a good home! Here is what we have learned about the dogs in the hour we worked with them.

Carlos: Carlos is an 11 month old Lab mix. He loves to play ball and train, and has lots of potential as a sports dog or active companion.
