ATTENTION FOSTERS:

                You are invited to attend GRRoM's Foster Training Class!

RSVP: Andrea Krausmann, grrom.ark@aol.com (313-598-5652)

What You Will Learn from trainer, Abbie Robinson:

• What to expect when a new dog enters your home and how to prepare

• How to properly introduce dogs for success

• Learn to read dog body language

• How to approach unwanted behaviors e.g. resource guarding, conflict with touch, reactivity barking and lunging behaviors

• There will also be time for Q&A

We highly recommend your attendance at this workshop. Our new fosters and those who have been fostering are invited. This will be a "people only" training session, no dogs. We will address all the pertinent issues our fosters face with their fostered Goldens. 

GRRoM wants to provide as much help and training as possible for fostering confidentially and successfully.

Once you have signed up, we will email handouts pertaining to our training session. You may print out these forms and bring with you.

We look forward to seeing you there!
