Sign up for, hand over

Hi,

1)If I had a disobedient dog and I wanted her to be better trained, could I say that “I need to enrol Roxy in a training programme/course or I need to sign up Roxy for a training programme/course?”

Are both options possible?

2)I know that people say ‘shift handover’ but I’m not sure if it’s common to say ‘handing over a shift.’

For example:”We’re handing the shift over to the night receptionists so things are a bit hectic around here.” I’d normaly say ‘we’re changing shifts’ but I was wondering if this could be used as well.

Thank you.
