                    Cooperative Care for                          Easier Vet Visits and Home Care

Does your dog hide when the nail clippers come out?

​

Do they run away when you grab the bottle of ear medicine?

​

Have you been told by the vet or groomer that your dog can’t come back unless they’re muzzled and/or sedated?

​

Are you tired of feeling sad and guilty about seeing your dog shake and hide?

​

Your dog will need care for their entire lives…. But it doesn’t have to be like this.

​

Are you ready for cooperative care, where you remove the stress and fear, and your dog learns to be a willing partner in their handling and care?

​
