oh yeah

i forgot to say that i signed up to volunteer at the spca. i hope it doesn't suck. they have this program called the green team. they focus on rehabilitating the dogs so they can get adopted quicker. basically, anyone can do it that's capable, according their website. they have these different classes: How Dogs Think and Learn, Clicker Training Basics, How Dogs Communicate (canine body language and interaction), and Your Behavior Toolbox (training in a shelter environment).

i think that'd be pretty perfect. now if i could only train my own dogs...
