I truly believe teaching your dogs at minimum the very basics of cooperative care is so so important. Times at the vet, grooming time, when we clip nails, when we have to get medicine or an injection in is such a stressful time for a dog. We know we have to do it but there are definitely ways to make their lives less stressful! We already incorporate desensitisation to tools into our curriculum which has made a big difference in our lives as well as our pups lives but we can do even more!
Lillie is a 9 year old girl and her nails grow unbelievably quickly, its difficult to keep up!
Today we did our first session on the scratch board and it was such a success - instead of being held down, she can now file her own nails down while enjoying herself. She will still take some time to get the idea right but she is well on her way there already.
So grateful for owners who are dedicated to ensuring their doggies have the best care and as little stress as possible.
