On December 1st, Onward Bound launched an Indiegogo crowdfunding campaign to help finance the creation of a new canine rehabilitation center in Hartford, Wisconsin. Ally Murdock, the founder of Onward Bound, is a professional dog trainer and active member of the Association of Professional Dog Trainers and the Force Free Trainers of Wisconsin. Using her expertise, she hopes to facilitate positive behavior changes for in-need dogs in the Wisconsin area.
“Onward Bound will be a safe haven for dogs that have unwanted behaviors. Hyperactivity, fear, aggression, and more can be changed with a careful systematic approach and positive motivation,” says Murdock. “I have learned many different techniques of behavior modification and am able to customize treatment plans that facilitate positive behavior changes in these dogs. Combined with owner training, these techniques lead to profound lasting change.”
Having found a prospective property for the rehabilitation facility, which meets land and zoning requirements, Murdock has now taken her project to Indiegogo to raise funds to acquire the property, build a kennel structure, and fence the property to ensure security. The kennels will be room suites outfitted with a sound system, comfortable bedding, and remote reward machines. The dogs in care will be trained one hour each day and be walked five times per day.
So far, Murdock has so far grown this project from the ground up while supporting her husband, a deployed soldier. The Indiegogo campaign will involve the local Wisconsin community in the rehabilitation center and help to further finance the project. In exchange for pledging support to the project, backers can get access to exclusive ‘perks’ or ‘rewards’ including furry chew toys, calming music that will relax your pet, branded magnets and t-shirts, a cartoon drawing of your pet, and more.
These rewards can be claimed for the next 40 days while the campaign is live on Indiegogo. For members of the Wisconsin community and beyond, this project is a great way to support in-need dogs and make an impact on man’s best friend.
“At Onward Bound, we will strive for transparency in our training. The best trainer in the world cannot help a dog if the owner doesn't know how to keep them successful. Our training program will facilitate the change, and help owners stay on track so that their pets have a successful behavior transformation.” - Ally Murdock.
The project will be accepting pledges on Indiegogo until January 10, 2015. For more information, you can contact the creator below or check out the project here.
