Would you like to learn how to build your
relationship with your dog and boost their
confidence wrapped up in a four week course?
This course is only suitable for dogs with no history of using aggression (growling, snapping, lunging) when being handled.
This is an introductory course that will allow you to progress onto further learning.
What is co-operative care?
It is a collaborative approach between an animal
and their guardian, rooted in building trust and a
good relationship, in order to perform necessary
husbandry and handling.
Using positive reinforcement training we can teach our dogs (or other animals) to be happy to
participate in handling procedures such as health checks, veterinary care, putting on equipment and grooming.
What can I use it for?
Nail trims
Giving medications such as eye and ear drops
Supporting your dogs with vaccinations and health checks at the vets
Grooming
Tick removal
Wound care
What are the benefits?
Enhanced relationship with your dog as they build a sense of trust and safety with you;
Reduction in stress for you and your dog: no more forcibly holding them or coercing them into a situation;
Increased confidence for your dog;
Increased safety for the humans: reduced likelihood of escalation of aggressive behaviours as the dog feels comfortable;
Our dogs showing increased impulse control and a more optimistic outlook on life.
What will we do on the course?
Teach your dog some tricks that are fun to learn and increase confidence between you and your
dog!
Teach your dog how they can opt in or out of
being handled. Giving them an âoutâ often
boosts confidence in wanting to participate
Learn more about our dogs, read their emotions
and any signals they may be showing us that
they are uncomfortable or comfortable
Dealing with emergency handling situations -
how to prepare your dog!
