Why is collaborative care important?

Grooming sessions, nail trimming and vet visits can be stressful and fear-provoking for both you and your dog. Being handled and examined by strangers, and undergoing possibly unpleasant procedures, requires preparation and practice. 

The collaborative care course helps your dog learn to participate in and even enjoy the most common animal husbandry procedures. By developing trust, clear communication, and a strong reinforcement history, your dog will become comfortable receiving the daily care they need to thrive!
