Cooperative Care

Is your pet stressed during vet visits or being groomed? How about bath time? Does your dog avoid putting on equipment like leashes, harnesses, or collars? Wouldn't it be nice if they were willing participants during these necessary life events without restraint or conflict?
By learning low stress handling techniques, you can help make these encounters less stressful for both your pet and yourself!

Benefits of low stress handling:
Your dog is able to feel more comfortable in a vet setting.
You learn how to be your dog’s advocate in those settings and be their voice when it's too much.
You learn how your dog is communicating through stress signals and body language and when to step in.
If you go to a low stress vet, the staff is already willing to work with you and your animal on this concept!
You increase the trust your animal has in you as they understand they have a say in each session.
An animal that is given a voice is more likely to participate knowing that they can leave the session at any time. This is very empowering to any learner!
