Rookie was very brave for his first cooperative care session! Here are some things that he practiced while here:
🐾 Letting a vet tech be in the room with him and even offered his known cues for snacks
🐾 An eye exam with that weird tool the doctor has
🐾 Getting up and down from our exam area
🐾 Getting ready for someone to touch him for the exam.

👏 👏 👏 Everyone give a round of applause for W***y! W***y started cooperative care training last week and already let us vaccinate him! He didn’t even notice that we poked him! Next we will be working on a blood draw for his Heartworm test.

We got to meet this gorgeous girl! Selkie is here for proactive puppy care. In hopes that the vet can be a fun and safe space for her as she grows.
Did you know your pet does not need to be reactive to come see us? We love working with pets to prevent veterinary anxiety!

Max was very scared of the vet. He did not allow vet care without sedation and even with sedatives they were not able to draw blood previously. Max has been working on cooperative care and was able to successfully have his blood drawn and is now fully vaccinated all while happily snacking on his whipped cream! We are so proud of Max and his family for all the hard work they put in!

"My Methods
I am a true believer in the power of positivity.
Dogs are sentient beings that should be treated with kindness, empathy, and patience. In agreement with the AVSAB (American Veterinary Society of Animal Behavior), I believe that reward-based methods are best for the learning and treatment of all animals.
Creating a strong relationship with your dog that is built upon love and understanding changes everything for the better!"
