Cooperative Care
WED 6:15 - 7:00 pm

Handlers will learn essential skills to reduce stress in handling their pets during veterinary and grooming procedures. Through a combination of practical demonstrations and hands-on exercises, participants will learn to teach their dogs various cooperative care behaviors, foster body awareness, and desensitize them to handling procedures such as blood draws and vaccinations.

Pre-requisites: Dogs should have a foundation in basic obedience commands such as sit, stay, down, and come, as these skills will provide a framework for more advanced cooperative care behaviors. Dogs must wear a flat buckle collar, martingale, or harness and a 6 foot leash. Bring loose, lickable treats such as peanut butter, squeeze cheese, or yogurt if possible. Small, soft treats are an acceptable substitute. Also, bring a small pillow, cloth, or towel each week.

We had so much fun learning about the Beginner Novice and Novice AKC Obedience classes at yesterday's membership meeting! Here, Cindy R. does a fantastic job of demonstrating what a typical Novice course is like.
