What is the Trainer Training Course?
Your TLCAD volunteer trainer training begins with a course, called the Trainer Training
Course, which will give you all of the initial foundation information you will need
to successfully work with a TLCAD Service Dog in training. The course is eight weeks
in length and you can start the class any week, due to the class not being cumulative,
rather each week is a different module, eight in total. These modules will cover
topics such as Service Dog laws, training methods, clicker skills, preventing behavior
problems and more.

Spencer Fox uses the help of Tender Loving Canines Assistant Dog Mojo! Mojo wears
a balance harness to assist Spencer to walk independently and not to miss out on
being a young man in high school. Spencer has made great progress in his recovery
from paralysis everyday since his injury when he was thirteen. His next goal is
to finish his driver training which he needs a car to complete! Due to the increased
mobility he has acquired through rehabilitation he is able to afford a car at a
reduced price. His needs for a car are a steering knob and a left-sided accelerator.
The car will also need to be equipped with a chair lift that can lift his 80-lb
wheelchair onto and off the back of his car. Spencer and his family are now reaching
out to those who can help him to raise $20,000 to get a vehicle that will allow
him to go to school and rehabilitation.
