Nail Trims and Other Grooming & Handling: Teach your dog to be a willing participant

This is for dogs of any age, but ESPECIALLY PUPPIES. It is a good way to prevent of future problems and plan for scenarios that might come up in the future (e.g., putting on a cone after surgery, applying ear drops, performing pet first aid, or removing a tick). This is also suitable for dogs who don’t tolerate getting their nails trimmed and/or other handling and grooming (e.g., bath time, ear medication, brushing). Students will work with their own dogs in the comfort of their own home as they learn how to build their dog’s trust and cooperation within the context of various handling and grooming activities.

This is great for puppies to prevent problems before they start and for dogs who may have a mild aversion to being alone. For moderate to extreme cases, a full private consult is required.

Manners Around Guests

This is for dogs who are happy and excited about people coming to the door and guests visiting. This is great for puppies to teach good manners before undesirable habits are formed. For cases where dogs are anxious/fearful/aggressive towards people at the door and guests, a private consult is required.

Car Rides and the Dog: Helping your dog be safe, relaxed and well-mannered in the vehicle

This is for dogs of any age, but especially for puppies to start off right.
