Volunteer

Join the Team! If you live in the Atlanta area, and your dog is already good at basic obedience (especially an extended down-stay), sign-up for a tryout. Ideal characteristics of the dog: calm, good in novel environments, good with strangers, good with other dogs, curious, unafraid of loud noises, unafraid of heights, and able to wear to ear muffs or ear plugs. If selected to join the Team, you will learn how to train your dog to take an MRI. The training takes 2-4 months with biweekly classes at CPT in Sandy Springs and 10-minute daily practice at home. Given the amount of work that goes into training, we are looking for dogs who can stay with the project for several years and participate in multiple experiments.
