Humane Training Alliance
The objective of the Humane Training Alliance is to assist in finding qualified animal professionals.
We have created a searchable web directory to guide the public to skilled individuals who prioritize modern, ethical approaches to animal training.

Finding an educated, ethical dog trainer shouldn’t be spooky 👻💀
Check out HumaneTraining.org for a real treat 🍬🍫…we’ve already found them for you! No tricks here!
Happy Halloween! 🎃

Douglas spent some time as the greeter at Humane Society of Huron Valley before being adopted this week! 🎉🎉🎉
He enjoyed connecting visitors with the Humane Training Alliance and he's excited to share that our training resource is making it's way to trainers and adopters across the state!
Many shelters and rescues are using our printed materials to provide adopters with the information for qualified, professional trainers. We are still collecting donations to help fund this ongoing cost:

If you know a positive reinforment trainer that is not yet listed on our site, feel free to pass along our information! Together we can help keep animals in their homes and help adopters find the right trainers! ️🐾✨️

You all remember our volunteer Duchess?! She was finally adopted from the Humane Society of Huron Valley this week! 😊🎉🐾
Duchess from the Humane Society of Huron Valley is working an important job today of giving out our HTA rack cards! She has some important things to say…

✨ I am the sweetest couch potato looking for my forever home! I would enjoy a home without other dogs or young children so I can live my happiest life. I love to lay around and cuddle but I also enjoy a nice stroll in the park. If you think we could be a good match stop in and say hi, not to toot my own horn but I think it would be love at first sight! 💞

📣NEW TRAINER APPLICATION PROCESS!📣
We’re still new and looking to improve our process. We heard some concerns over the lengthy application to join the website, and have adjusted some things on our end.
It’ll now only take you about 2 minutes to apply if you already hold a dog training certification.
We’ll continue to evolve as needed as we work to make this resource as useful as possible. We sincerely thank every supporter and applicant we’ve had so far, and hope this change will encourage more to join the Humane Training Alliance.
Listing with the HTA is and always will be FREE! Our goal is simply to make modern and ethical dog training the norm. We are volunteer run and do not profit from this project. We do have ongoing expenses and gladly accept donations.
If you haven’t already, please apply now at https://humanetraining.org/trainers-application/

The HTA is working hard to help connect families with positive reinforcement trainers in their area! Our handouts and business cards are distributed at events, shelters, and businesses. We're always looking for more advertisement and we are also in need of additional funding for supplies. If you can help or spread the word, it's always appreciated!

Thanks to Humane Society of Huron Valley for the shout out!! 🐾💜
What makes HSHV staff so awesome? This may go without saying, but they genuinely care very deeply about the animals. And you see it in so many ways, including what they do in their free time!
For example: shoutout to our fantastic Canine Behavior Specialist who has poured tons of time and energy into co-founding the Humane Training Alliance. This is a database of positive-reinforcement-based dog trainers, searchable by location and continuously updated. The goal is to make force-free training more accessible and easy to find -- and, incidentally, helping to keep dogs out of shelters due to behavior issues and in the homes where they are already loved ❤️
Check out this new project at https://humanetraining.org/ 🐾

We are so excited to be spreading the word about this awesome resource! Here's some of the things we've accomplished so far...
-Informational booths at TWO free community events
-Distributed over 150 rack cards and business cards to businesses
-Discussed material distribution with about 15 rescue groups and shelters
-Added several new trainers to the website
-Got almost 500 followers on our page
We have a lot more money to raise to pay our web developer for all the work he has done and print more materials to distribute! Please continue to share our fundraiser to help us reach our goal of making humane training techniques the norm in Michigan!

Hanging out with Bernadette from The Un-Shelter and a bunch of dogs from Waggin' Tails at today’s “Canton Celebrates National Trails and Rivers Day”! We are here til 1pm at the Lower Ridge Trail, located off Michigan Ave on Morton Taylor Rd. Come say hi 👋

Attention Michigan animal trainers! We are on a mission to lead animal guardians to trainers who prioritize welfare and ethics rather than just whatever pops up first on Google. We are distributing our printed materials to vet clinics, pet stores, shelters, and really anywhere animal guardians go (which is everywhere 😂)
Fill out an application to be listed on our website! It is and will always be completely free, we are funded only by donations and completely volunteer run!

Let’s make the world a better place for animals and their guardians 🐾💜

Hello to all our new followers! 👋 Thank you for your interest in this project. We have quite a ways to go in raising the funds needed to pay our web developer and print more materials for distribution this year. The project is completely volunteer run. To be as inclusive as possible, there are no fees to be listed as a trainer on the site. Would you consider donating to support this important resource? 🙏
