Keen to Cooperate
Teaching your dog to be a willing participant in handling, grooming and vet care
Please note that your place in this course is not confirmed until I have made contact and payment has been received. Spaces are limited to 5 dogs per course. Classes do not always run on consecutive Sundays due to my other commitments, so please check the course calendar to ensure the upcoming class dates suit you.
About this course:
Help your dog to learn to work with you not against you, when providing them with husbandry, grooming and vet care. Learn to understand your dog’s needs and body language so you can become better connected.
What we cover:
Teaching your dog how to stay still and focus
Introducing co-operative handling
Teaching your dog to stand still for grooming
Teaching your dog to lay still on their side
Dress-ups for dogs – teaching them how to put on their own harness or collar, instead of running away from it!
Giving your dog a ‘once over’
Teaching paw targetting so you can train your dog to file their own nails
…and more!
*Please note this course is not a 'quick fix', it is designed to give your dog the ability to communicate their needs and learn to cooperate, but if your dog has severe behavioural concerns surrounding handling, grooming or vet visits, I advise that you look into one-to-one training instead.*
This course costs $105, and runs over 4 x 1hr sessions.
