🐾 Training for Heroes! 🦸‍♀️ September 22-24, 2023

Three years ago, we started this journey by rescuing dogs who were going to be euthanized for behavior. We’ve grown so much, and made many changes in our business since the beginning. Now we’re blessed to offer in home sessions and Champion Camp to clients all across Mississippi and Tennessee. Edgar believes that by training humans how to better understand dogs he can save many dogs BEFORE they get to the shelter. But this is not a perfect world. And dogs WILL go to shelters. So what can we do to help the ones that end up in rescue?

Train the rescuers, aka the heroes! 🦸‍♀️

We’ve already started by hosting workshops, group classes, in home sessions, and farm sessions for the staff, volunteers, and fosters of various rescues. They’ve paid for the training. They’ve believed in the dogs. They’ve sacrificed their time and energy.

Now, it’s time for us to give back to them for a change!

There is no specific system or program that trains rescue/shelter staff. They have to put all their limited resources into helping the dogs. So we have decided to help them!

Next weekend, September 22, 23, and 24, we are hosting a “Training for Heroes” event! We have invited three of our rescue partners to bring FIVE dogs and 8-10 people for a FOUR hour class at our training facility. These three classes are completely FREE. Participants will learn about—

🐾 Leash training
🐾 Dog behavior and communication
🐾 Our main principle of Body, Mind, Heart
And more!

Our volunteers will be sharing parts of this event on social media through Facebook live, photos, and videos. Throughout the training you’ll be able to watch and participate and even donate directly to these rescues! You’ll also get to see dogs who are currently searching for a new home! ❤️

For this first event we are hosting…

Abandoned to Adored on Friday from 2-6 PM
Team Memphis Rescue & Support on Saturday from 10-2 PM
Tunica HumaneSociety on Sunday from 12-4 PM

We work with other rescues, and they will have a chance to participate at another time.

Stay tuned for more information and details throughout this week! AND remember to sign up for our upcoming Champion Paws 5K with Midsouth Runners and Opal's Barn, Inc at Mississippi Ale House and Brew Pub on October 7, 2023! We would love to meet all of you in person! 🐕
