Chouteau Pound Pals

 

NOCC K-9 PROGRAM

Chouteau Pound Pals has partnered with Northeast Oklahoma Correctional Center and their K9 Training Program!  Dogs from the Chouteau Pound will spend 8 weeks living with an "inmate trainer".  These dogs will be taught basic manners such as sit, down, stay, wait, heel on a leash, heel off leash, they will be crate trained and potty trained.  In addition they may learn some fun tricks also! They will learn to tolerate being bathed, having their teeth brushed and nails clipped.  Our first group of dogs arrived at the center on Friday, February 1st, 2019.  We are excited about this partnership and can't wait to attend the graduation ceremony! All dogs going through the program will be available for adoption and if you are interested in a dog please fill out an application, if approved you would be welcome to attend the graduation ceremony and can take your new, well trained partner home! Chouteau Pound Pals still supplies the dog food and the crates as well as training treats and any other supplies that may be needed so donations are always apprec iated!
