Victory at the Vets:

If your dog is nervous or exhibits FAS (fear, anxiety, stress) at the veterinary office, this class is a must!  Each time your dog has a negative experience at the vets due to FAS you are starting to see an increase in difficulty of handling, so let us help turn that around! 

Not sure if your dog has FAS?  Does your dog tuck tail, shake/quiver, drool, pant heavily, growl, lunge, lower body posture and ears to look scared, back out of collar/leash, whimper or whine.  These are all signs your dog is in distress and could use some help.  Unfortunately, the vets have a job to do so they are not always able to resolve this in an appointment.  The good news is the prep work you can do outside the vets office can make a world of difference in your next appointments to turn things around. 

 

Things you will learn:

*Slip Lead/Leash transfers and handling from owner to staff *Chin rests and positions for blood draws, vaccines, vitals, etc.  *Stay holds or gentle calming methods  *Intro to muzzle work as needed  *Hands on handling/touching body  *Lay/Settle on a mat (slowed breathing and relaxation)  *Touch hold for still posture for longer procedures  *Nail trimming prep work

 

This class is formatted for 4weeks and 1 private session for $120.00.  Veterinary staff receive a 20% discount to attend in order to learn more techniques on the fear free approach.

Reactive Rover: 

​

Saturday September 23rd at 1pm will be a Reactive dog seminar to help with basics of why/how your dogs are how you can best approach the training to lessen reactivity on leash.  Due to the nature of the behavior problem and triggers it is best not to do group classes but to start with a seminar of preparation work followed by a plan individually constructed to help your dog successfully.
