Cooperative care:
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 anymore.

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

Let a certified FearFree professional trainer transform your dog from stressed and scared…to fear-free and HAPPY!
