Do you need to prep your dog for vet visits??
There's nothing wrong with keeping staff, and your dog, safe by teaching them helpful skills way in advance of your appointment. In fact, it's very much appreciated by all!
Dougal is having a refresher course in wearing his muzzle while allowing his feet and ears to be touched, as these are what he struggles with the most at his dermatology visits.
How do you set your dog up for less stressful check ups?

Here's one way to get something away from your puppy -by not making a big deal about it!
Approaching a dog when they have a coveted item may lead them to play "keep away", or to show tense, even aggressive behavior (what we commonly associate resource guarding with). To help prevent this, find what your dog values MORE than the item they have (if possible) and use it to your advantage.
In this case, the puppy valued being in the same room as me over being alone with the shoe. 😄

My friend is thinking about bringing her cat to her mom's house for Christmas, so I wanted to make a quick video with some advice on how to decrease stress for everyone! Maybe this advice will be helpful to others in a similar situation.
Ideally you should leave your cat at home when traveling, but that's not always possible. I highly recommend following the advice I give here, even if you have a very confident cat, to best prevent stress and thus unwanted behaviors (like marking territory)!
