Preparatory School
The curriculum here is divided into four phases: Behavioral and Personality Assessment, Obedience Training, Midway Family Socialization, and Forever Home.
First & Second Stage
- reaction evalute
The first and second stages of behavioral assessment help us understand the acceptance of human beings, tolerance to various stimuli, behavioral tendencies, as well as their personalities and temperaments. Stimuli include sound, human touch, and getting along with other dogs; behavioral tendencies include separation anxiety, aggression, and food protection; and personality and temperament include introversion, adaptability, and leader or follower. Most of the dogs in the park have not had much experience with people and may be shy and afraid of people, and these assessments can help the trainee dogs maintain a healthy and stable state.
Third Stage - Obedience Training
The third stage of obedience training allows your dog to maintain good manners at home. When a dog enters a home, it feels strange and excited. At this time, the dog must show the performance of training and obey the owner's instructions in order to maintain a good relationship with the adopter.
Forth Stage - Halfway House
The fourth stage will continue to observe the dog through the halfway house. Dogs can live in up to three different types of homes, so they must be changed at least every three weeks. The halfway family will also give regular feedback to let them know how the dog lives in the three different families. In order to find the best partner for each other, PACK try to get to know each family in many ways. PACK requires all adopters to complete an application form, attend adoption workshops, interview with a PACK placement specialist, and conduct home environment interviews.
At all stages of training, they can use the information they get to help the dog find better adopters and better understand the dog's personality and temperament. (by Yvette)
