What is Canine Commandos? Canine Commandos is a program gifted students from Andersen Elementary along with 21 other schools participate. Our class will be making monthly visit to the Cocoa Humane Society. The Commandos train basic obedience commands, "Watch Me," "Sit," "Down," Stay," and "Come" outside with the dogs secured to the fence to prevent the students from letting go of the leashes. Once the basic commands are taught, the Commandos go into the shelter to clicker train the dogs in their runs.
When clicker training, the dogs are in their runs and the Commandos stand in front of the dogs' doors. When the dogs are quiet and not jumping at their cage doors, the Commandos click and give them a treat. This makes the shelter quieter and the dogs more desirable for adoption.
Students will also socialize the cats.
The Commandos’ goal is to get these dogs adopted into good homes and spread the word to other schools so they can join in the fun, too!
