Best Chance Dog Program

Picture
In March 2006, Pawnee County Humane Society (PCHS) entered into an agreement with the Larned Correctional Mental Health Facility (LCMHF) to place five dogs into training.

The program uses inmates as dog handlers.  The inmates provide basic socialization and obedience training to dogs that have been surrendered to PCHS, helping them become more adoptable.  All dogs in training have been spayed or neutered and are current on vaccinations.

The dogs are trained to kennel, are housebroken, and are socialized with humans as well as other dogs.  Basic obedience training includes: heel on and off lead, sit, stay, down, and come.  LCMHF also has a few of the agility/obstacle course stations in the exercise area where handlers can work with and exercise the dogs.  When the trained dogs are adopted, PCHS teaches the new owner how to give the commands and what to expect from their trained dog.​​​​
