Mike Harmon Accepts Position as Training Partners Program Coordinator
Mike Harmon has agreed to step into the position of Training Partners Program Coordinator in 2008. This assistance is greatly needed as Dogtown moves forward to meet the challenges of the Training Partners Program and developing enlightened standards of care for the Vick Dogs and other dogs already at Dogtown with similar behavioral/emotional problems, while retaining the commitment to all the Dogtown population.
Mike was a volunteer with LA Programs prior to 2005 and Hurricane Katrina. He then spent a number of months in Tylertown helping out with volunteers, logistics and animal care.
Afterwards, Mike joined the Dogtown team as a caregiver. Mike had been called on to help Dogtown with projects such as Pahrump, Pet’s Alive, and Virginia puppy mill.
Best Friends and Dogtown are proud to entrust the Training Partners Program to Mike, and look forward to a very active and vibrant program attracting the best of the training world to our Best Friends dogs.
Mike’s mother has been very active in volunteer work with Best Friends in Los Angeles for a number of years. After college (and we are sure with his mother’s ‘encouragement’) Mike decided that he wanted to be in a position to give more to society.
