Challenges: ● Mentor frequently busy ● Many dogs were slow to learn because they had not been properly socialized Done differently: ● Worked with fewer dogs to make training more effective

Conclusion Future in this subject: ● Continue volunteering ● Possible occupation ● Educated on dog ownership for current and future use
