Obedience & Rally Experienced – Volunteer Needed

We have learned recently that our descriptions of Competition Obedience and Rally on our website under Types of Training are woefully out of date. We need to update those sport descriptions.

We are looking for an obedience and rally experienced volunteer with strong writing skills to rewrite those pages to 1) shorten those descriptions to make them engaging and interesting to someone who may be interested in learning about these sports. 2) aim for no more than three paragraphs in length per sport, 3) link to the AKC website for sport specifics (such as what skills are required to title in each level)

If you are interested in this work from home opportunity, please reach out to Sharon Ripps at correspondence@pcotc.org
