Would you like to help new puppy owners to give their pets the best start in life? If you are a dog trainer or behaviourist accredited by the Animal Behaviour & Training Council (ABTC), or students working towards an ABTC-accreditation, Our Family Dog – an online community providing advice and support to first-time dog owners – would love to hear from you.

Our Family Dog is a not-for-profit community interest company that aims to address the mismatch between the expectations and reality of dog ownership, by supporting people to get a puppy responsibly and safely; prepare for their puppy’s arrival, and give their pet the best start in life.

To meet the needs of their fast growing community, there are plans to launch a semi-moderated forum for new puppy owners to seek advice and share their experiences. To ensure that puppy owners are given accurate advice and signposted to professional support where needed, Our Family Dog are recruiting volunteer forum moderators. They would like to hear from ABTC-accredited dog trainers or behaviourists, or students working towards an ABTC-accreditation who have an empathic approach to dealing with people who would like to engage in an online forum. The commitment will be no more than 1.5 to 2 hours per week.
