Request a Puppy Caregiver

Puppy Caregiver Request

Young Puppy Trainers and Furlough Trainers should use this form to request backup care for their pups. Please submit requests as far in advance as possible. You will receive information on who to coordinate with for drop-off and pick-up. Please follow up directly with EENP if you have not gotten this information by a week before the care starts.

Who will gather equipment for the caregiver?*

Young puppy trainers generally supply equipment. Furlough trainers generally supply equipment if the care period is entirely within the furlough week, but may need EENP to supply equipment if they won't be handling both ends of the exchange. If EENP provides equipment and the dog and equipment are handed off to you, please be sure equipment is returned to EENP promptly!

I can provide all equipment

EENP should provide all equipment

Other

Where should the exchange at start of care period happen?*

We're now assuming you will work out hand off details directly with the caregiver after we let you know who is assigned, except in specific cases where it makes sense for EENP staff to handle the hand off. The most common reasons the exchange happens at EENP are if the dog is being picked up from young puppy school or ABEL furlough transport, or if the caregiver needs to get equipment from EENP. You are always welcome to meet at EENP if that feels safer for you, but if EENP staff won't be involved in the transfer please choose "arrange directly with trainer" and then let the caregiver know you want to meet at EENP when you are first connected with them. Enter details in "other" if you have an unusual situation that doesn't fit either option.
