CLC RR offers training classes throughout the county. Training encourages dogs to make good choices and this in turn creates a dog who is welcome in social situations!
There is no cost for fosters of rescue dogs (must provide documentation from the rescue you are fostering for unless you are with CLC RR) and for general public, we suggest a donation from $15-$25 in value per class.
CURRENT TRAINING SCHEDULE:
By appointment only, offered in Saratoga, Encampment, Hanna, Sinclair, and Rawlins. There is a travel surcharge for fuel to areas outside of Rawlins/Sinclair.
Please call Christi at 307-320-5214 for information on what to bring to the classes, and when it will be appropriate for you and your dog to start, as we work on different levels each week.

Shelter/Rescue Support Programs
CLC RR has a certified, positive method trainer who is partnering with other shelters and rescues to promote the importance of understanding animal behavior in the adoption process. The programs are significantly discounted to be affordable for non-profits, and can be paired with a fund-raising opportunity to help finance the program!

- Online/Video/Phone support - this program can be purchased in a package or per use of any combination of the above communication methods. An email or phone call to discuss a behavioral challenge with an animal will provide suggestions and tips for modifying the behavior. Video of the behavior might be included at an additional fee, or a video of the trainer working with an animal displaying a similar behavior and the modification techniques to redirect that into a positive behavior can be demonstrated.
- Clinics and Workshops - the trainer will travel to your shelter or rescue location, and will work with animals and volunteers/staff to demonstrate methods, teach about understanding behavior, and how to offer post-adoption counseling to reduce returns on adoptions. This service may be paired with a public clinic or workshop regarding a popular choice of training (obedience, specific problem such as loose-leash walking or leash aggression, fun stuff, etc.) offered to the public for a fee. The proceeds will be split with the rescue/shelter and the trainer, with the majority going to the host organization!

Lost and Found!
Thunder cracks and your dog bolts though the open door! Or you are out walking, and something frightens her and she pulls back, slipping her lead and racing off blindly in terror... Or a fence blows down in the strong WY wind, while you are at work or busy inside. Wrecks along I-80, and other major area highways can result in a pet that is lost during a confusing time and until the owner is aware again, nobody realizes the pet is missing!
Things happen, and pets go missing from time to time. WIth diligent efforts, and massive outreach and communication, you and your pet CAN be reunited!
Here are the best tips we can offer for ensuring your pet is returned safely:
Things happen, and pets go missing from time to time. WIth diligent efforts, and massive outreach and communication, you and your pet CAN be reunited!
Here are the best tips we can offer for ensuring your pet is returned safely:
- Microchipping- easy, inexpensive and reliable!
- Pethub tags- they are a quick way for anybody with a smartphone, anywhere to scan a tag and reunite a lost pet with their family.
- ID tags and collars, with name of your pet, and your information.
- Current rabies and city license tags attached to collar.
- IF your pet does go missing, post flyers with current photos of the pet, your contact information, and a description of the pet, where it went missing from, and behavioral characteristics.
- Contact all veterinarians and the local law enforcement and give them a description of your pet. If they will accept a flier, send it or deliver it immediately.
- Utilize radio and newspapers to publicize your missing pet.
- Social media such as Facebook and Twitter are also great outlets for networking a lost pet! Many communities have an "upcycle" page or group, and a community pet page or group where you can post photos and information. In Carbon County, on Facebook- there is Rawlins Upcycle group and Carbon County Pets group, but also post on pages for CLC RR and Pet Partners, and the Shelter. You could ask to post on other community pages or group pages.
- OFFER A REWARD- even a small one. People who have time but perhaps not much financial freedom might be more inclined to look for a lost pet if they think there might be a gain or at the very least have their expenses recovered...
What is hoarding?
Hoarding of animals, possessions, trash, and other things is a form of mental illness often stemming from unresolved childhood trauma. Rather than degrade a person for this situation- we would like to ask that you consider the anguish they are living with, and offer a compassionate attitude for a person who suffers in this manner. Often the human has good intentions that are unable to be met, and if given a hand up and some loving assistance, the animals who are also suffering can be aided!
How do you determine if animals are being "hoarded"? They will be living in poor sanitary conditions, have limited access to clean water, nutritious and regular food, and medical needs will not be met. Housing will be not be adequate to protect them from the elements, and they will often be allowed to breed unchecked. Numbers do not really matter, but large numbers are often are the consequence of this unchecked ability to breed. Many times, the person will claim that they are a rescue or that they are taking in the animals because they have no place else to go, but they are unable to meet the necessary requirements to maintain the health of the animals. Sometimes, in extreme cases, the person is unable to identify exactly how many animals are there and the animals are kept in such chaotic conditions that they can die and not be discovered until much later.
