Animal control professionals and humane educators agree: it’s not enough to correct the problems of irresponsible pet ownership through law enforcement; it’s also essential to educate the public—including children—about proper pet care. In this course, animal control officers and other shelter personnel will learn the best ways to approach schools, plan and schedule classroom presentations, and conduct fun-filled programs on responsible pet care for children in grades K-8.

Course developed by Humane Society: Youth (formerly the National Association for Humane and Environmental Education, NAHEE), an affiliate of The HSUS. 

An elective in the Certified Humane Education Specialist (CHES) program.
