Did you know that the
number one reason dogs are
turned over to shelters is
undesirable behavior?
The Schrodi Memorial Training
Fund wants to help owners who
can't afford top dollar
training, be able to train
and keep their dogs.
The fund is overseen by
the Animal
Trustees of Austin
and will team up with
the
Lee
Mannix
Center
for Canine Behavior and their
trainers to train owners how
to handle and manage their
dog(s) and their behaviors in
a reward-based style. Owners
will fill out an application
and be chosen based on
training and financial need.

Founder, Shari Elkins,
CPDT, shares her story...
Schrodi was my first
dog as an adult. From
day one, she was my
"problem
child." It took me
years to find a trainer, such
as Lee Mannix, who could
truly understand and help in
a compassionate way.
If not for Schrodi and her
rowdy behavior, I would never
have found my own passion for
dog training nor would I have
the four other wonderful dogs
I have now (or for that
matter I wouldn't have the
man I love). Schrodi
was a profound dog whose name
and legacy deserve to be
carried on and I feel
offering rehabilitation
training is a perfect
remembrance of the best dog
in the world. Please
consider helping other dogs
and keep Schrodi's memory
alive.

Shari at shari@lmccb.com
