We start with start buttons! To make care cooperative, we give dogs control over their own handling and care processes by teaching them how to prompt it and end it; by showing you when they are ready, offering consent and removing it to stop care. Once our dogs have solid start (and stop) buttons, we progress to handling! We utilize classical and operant conditioning and desensitization to build positive feelings and experiences around previously difficult and even scary care procedures.

Coming soon.

Once our dogs have start and stop buttons and we have begun desensitization, we can begin to build real care procedures. This webinar is built to lay solid foundations and help you create a cooperative care procedure that works for your dog in order to brush and bathe them cooperatively; minimizing their stress and making care easier and kinder for everyone involved.

This webinar is built to lay solid foundations for veterinary care procedures such as ear, eye, and oral medication, as well as for the veterinary handling that occurs at a regular visit such as listening to the heart, a full body exam, SQ injections, and bloodwork.

Coming soon.

This webinar expands on Veterinary Handling, and includes many splits and steps to transfer the skills you have been practicing at home to the real world; an actual vet visit.
