Here at the P.A.W.S. Animal Adoption Center we use positive reinforcement as our way of training. Positive reinforcement involves providing things the animal finds rewarding to encourage positive behaviors. This could include treats, toys, pets, praise, etc. Under no circumstance do we use painful methods or methods that cause an animal to be fearful, and we require that our foster families do the same. This means that you may not use painful methods like jerking or snapping the leash, and no use of choke, pinch, prong, or shock collars.
Are you familiar with this type of training and would you be willing to use the positive reinforcement method? Write N/A if you are interested in cat fostering only.*
Is there anything else you would like us to know?*
Your application will be reviewed and you will be contacted shortly regarding your eligibility for our foster program.
