Kids 12 and up can volunteer with a parent. But they are required to attend the mandatory volunteer training with a parent. Children under 12 cannot volunteer with a parent when working with the dogs.
2. Can I bring my dog along?

No. Anyone working with LCHS dogs must complete the volunteer training.
4. Am I required to train the dogs?
Our focus with dog walkers is safety for the animals, volunteers, and members of the public. More experienced volunteers will be welcome to work with staff to learn some basics of clicker training.
