Today’s the day! Companion Vet Clinic is proud to announce the launch of our new online training course, Get Vet Ready: Foundations for Canine Cooperative Care! If you are a guardian who wants to preventatively set your dog up for success, or you want your dog to feel more comfortable at the vet, this course is for you.
Using videos, audio files, graphics, and written explanations, we are going to teach you how to help your dog communicate with their vet through cooperative care training. You will learn all about body language and how to teach your dog some fun opt-in behaviours, and also how to understand when your dog would like to opt out. You will also learn how to do a mock veterinary exam, how properly introduce your dog to commonly used veterinary equipment and how to transfer all this training to your veterinary team. We cover everything you need to know so you and your dog are happy, confident, and in control the next time you walk through the vet clinic doors.
Sign up today via the link in bio and get started on your journey to vet visit success!

Is your dog fearful of nail trims? Be wary about using devices like restrictive slings or restraints that allow you or a professional to complete the procedure without your pet’s consent. While this might be tempting as a short term solution, it can increases fear, anxiety and stress and gives your pet no control or choice. Instead, teach your pet to be a willing and happy participant! Listen to Jessica Benoit RVT, VTS (Behaviour), KPA CTP, CPDT-KA discuss why counter-conditioning and desensitization are much better strategies that will lead to lasting, sustainable behaviour change.

You will also learn about sustainable substitutes for crate training your puppy and get tips for success if you DO plan on making a crate part of your dog’s life.
