Our Training Beliefs
Our Training Beliefs
We use positive reinforcement-based equipment to support humane handling, build trust, and promote lifelong learning in our animals. The right equipment helps keep dogs safe, reduces stress, and sets both people and pets up for success. LifeLine supports and recommends trainers and behavior consultants who are certified by nationally-recognized and reputable animal professional organizations, such as certified trainers (CPDT-KA or -KSA) and certified behavior consultants (CBCC or CDBC).

All dogs in new environments are at risk of running away. Shy or scared dogs are at increased risk. Foster dogs should stay on leash at all times outside. Be mindful of doors in your house and car. Dogs called "flight risk" need extra caution.
