Make nail trims, grooming, harnesses and veterinary visits easier by teaching your dog to participate instead of simply tolerate.

In this recorded webinar, Tess Erngren introduces the foundations of cooperative care and shows how choice and control can change the way dogs experience everyday handling.

You’ll learn how to recognise when your dog is comfortable, uncertain or asking for a break, and how simple trained behaviours can become clear signals for “I’m ready” and “not right now.”

Through practical examples, Tess shows how these principles can be used for:

• nail trimming and paw handling
• harnesses and clothing
• checking teeth and ears
• ear and nose drops
• grooming and shaving
• veterinary examinations and vaccinations
• preparing puppies before problems develop
• helping dogs rebuild trust after difficult experiences

You’ll also see how to take cooperative care from simple foundation skills at home to real-life situations at the groomer or veterinary clinic.

Suitable for puppy caregivers, people living with dogs who find handling difficult, and dog professionals looking for practical tools to share with their clients.

Give your dog a voice in their own care, and turn treatment into teamwork.
