DODT Volunteer Incentive Program

It’s a fact – we can’t run trials without volunteers.  And we can’t run efficient trials without a good amount of volunteers!  To thank you for your time and support of our trials we will now offer Volunteer Cash!

​

How it works:

  • Sign up to volunteer via the Volunteer Sign-Up Form (if we don’t have this info, we can’t track your cash!)

  • Check-in with the Volunteer Coordinator at the trial

  • Receive an email after the trial with confirmation of your Volunteer Cash.  There’s no coupon, no code, no certificate – we will track your Cash!

​

What you get:

  • Volunteer for a half day (4+ hours) - $5

  • Volunteer for a full day (over 4 hours) - $15

  • Use of your vehicle in a vehicle search - $5

 

Use your Volunteer Cash towards any class, event, seminar, workshop or trial that DODT is hosting!  Email info@dooverdogtraining.com BEFORE registering for any event to let us know you would like to use your Volunteer Cash and we will deduct your Volunteer Cash from the total. 

​

*Sorry, we will not go back into the registration system and make refunds for Volunteer Cash after payment has been made, you have to let us know beforehand that you would like to use it.

*For bookkeeping purposes, Volunteer Cash expires 1 year after the trial you volunteered for.
